1. You are sending UCE ie Unsolicited commercial email. This is against the AUP of your mail provider http://mymail.mail.com/templates/common/us/agreement.htm AND of the NZNOG list http://list.waikato.ac.nz/archives/nznog/2001/06/msg00011.html 2. You claim to be a legitimate business running your own domain registration. Yet you either don't have enough faith in your own business or are unable to provide yourself with a domain from your own .z TLD Instead you use a free email provider mail.com 3. Even if we wanted to take you seriously, you appear to be the president of a company supposedly dealing with the Internet and yet there is no suggestion of any Internet prescence. Where's the website? Where's your AS number? Where's your domain name? Are you a coporate member of ISOCNZ (not that that's a requirement for any company within the Internet industry)? Will you be presenting your .z at the ISOCNZ AGM this Friday? 4. Even if I wanted to keep an open mind and read what you wrote it is hard to take you seriously considering the number of errors in the original email sent out by you. The members of NZNOG are not representative of the ISP industry in NZ. However I would place great reliance on the opinions and views of many of the active participants in here as they actually know how the internet work and are often the people who make things work despite any attempts some have on trying to throw a wrench into the works.
