I was recently SPAMMED by a WCOM sales-droid. Wanting to bring this to the attention to as many movers-and-shakers as possible, I forwarded the SPAM to nanog-post. When it did not show up on the list, I sent it again. No show again, I unsubscribed, resubscribed and resent it (yet again). Immediately after the resend, I sent a test message to the list. Strangely, the test message made it to the list but the WCOM message still has not made it to the list. Is the list being moderated or filtered in some way? It is quite suspect that it is a message that would be embarrassing to WCOM that doesn't work but any othe message makes it through. Has anyone else seen this phenomenon? Many of you will no-doubt harrass me about the WCOM forward being OT and not appropriate for NANOG. I disagree. When WCOM and companies it owns claim to be so ANTI-SPAM yet they SPAM to troll for customers, it deserves as much press (read: EMBARRASSING EXPOSURE) as possible to hopefully shame them into ceasing such tactics and getting rid of sales-droids who employ such tactics. --- John Fraizer EnterZone, Inc
