The question is: who is Theresa? One of Pat's 14 different personalities?

Pat does not work in nor manage the "Slackware Store". When he was
disowned by his parent company BSDi in April 2001 (this being a
condition of the Wind River acquisition), Slackware Linux, Inc., was
born.

Are they really incorporated? I don't know. They are a partnership. Bob
Bruce of BSDi, also of Slackware's previous parent company, Walnut
Creek CD-ROM, took on the production and distribution aspects, leaving
Pat to produce Slackware.

So I would guess that Theresa is an employee of Bob Bruce. Bob probably
has other commercial ventures, so "Slackware" is but one of the hats
his people wear.

I don't know whom Theresa is employed by, but she is whom one speaks to
if placing an order by telephone, or reporting a problem with an order.
As I recall one of the BOZOs had an issue with a subscription and
e-mailed sales at slackware dot com. The e-mail he got back was from
some lady named Theresa and she uses Outlook Express. Go figure. :^)

How did the "bozo" fuck up his subscription? Did he spell his name
wrong? Did he send cash?

cordially, as always,

The Slackware Mall is actually the same thing as the FreeBSD Mall, just
compare the addresses:

FreeBSD Mall, Inc.
1164 Claremont Drive
Brentwood, CA 94513
USA

And, yep, Theresa also answers e-mail for the FreeBSD Mall .
