AOL didn't cave in. Reuters and BusinessWire ran a PRESS RELEASE from Harris, and traceroutes to AOL still showed AboveNet as of yesterday. The "news" article didn't contain any quotes from AOL, AboveNet, MAPS or anyone besides Harris. Harris's stock is in a lot of trouble and my bet is that they lied... they posted a "clarification" yesterday, but they're still full of crap...
The three rules of spamfighting from news.admin.net-abuse.email apply here, I think... 1) Spammers lie. 2) If you think a spammer is telling the truth, see 1) 3) Spammers are stupid. -- North Shore Technologies, Cleveland, OH http://NorthShoreTechnologies.net Steve Sobol, BOFH - President, Chief Website Architect and Janitor Linux Instructor, PC/LAN Program, Natl.
