I welcome email in my inbox that relates directly to my line of business

increasing the size of certain body parts or some other "amazing
offer" which we see all to often of late, depending on how good your
mail filters are.
Sorry, but that doesn't wash with me, or I suspect most members of the
list. Spam is Spam whether its trying to sell me Viagra or Bandwidth.
Anybody that received that mailout (fortunately I didn't) who had no
previous business dealings with Net4U could be legitimately annoyed by
it. The sample "message" appeared to be addressed to soa@ which
suggests it might have been taken from domain or APNIC contact
details.
It
doesn't take much for everyone to see that some of you are making an
issue simply because it's Sahil and Net4U, and because you were a reject
at school who was picked on and bullied, and now have a psychological
disorder resulting in you playing out the role of your boyhood deamon
from school, dishing out what you received.
