Hi all - Here is an apology from Kaspia for the e-mail sent to the individuals on the nanog mailing list. It appears to have been an unintentional error. Bill >To all NANOG members who attended the NANOG confererence in Florida last >month: > >It has been brought to my attention that Kaspia Systems has sent an >unsolicited email to many of you who did not attend our reception at the >show in Florida. I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for >this breach of internet protocol, and to assure you that it was a case not >knowing the rules vs. willfull violation of the rules. > >I was lead to believe that we were sending a personal email to the 40 or so >of you that attended our reception, an action I approved. What actually >happened was that our telemarketing group apparently decided that if 40 was >good, 400 must be great, and proceeded to email everyone on the NANOG list, >one at a time. This action I do not approve of, nor does Kaspia Systems >believe that unsolicited email is a proper use of the internet. > >Please accept my apologies on behalf of Kaspia Systems and be assured that >this will not happen again. > >Jeff Erwin >President & CEO >Kaspia Systems >(503) 644-1800 > =========================== Offending Message=============================== >From: [email protected] (Pam Sprague) >To: <[email protected]> >Date: Wed, 2 Jul 1997 13:15:48 -0700 >X-MSMail-Priority: Normal >X-Priority: 3 >X-Mailer: Microsoft Internet Mail 4.70.1161 >MIME-Version: 1.0 >Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 >Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit >Message-ID: <[email protected]> > >July 2, 1997 > >Dear XXXXXXXX, > >We very much appreciate the enthusiasm shown our product by all of you >at the cocktail reception we sponsored at the Hyatt last month. Many of >you commented about Kaspia's significance and relevance after seeing the >excellent presentation "Introduction to Network Performance >Measurement" given by Daniel McRobb of ANS. > >Dan's presentation stressed the importance of collecting, reducing and >trending various network statistics in order to perform capacity >planning and trouble-shooting.
