Uggggh.  So many people have requested this privately, I can't take it!

So, here goes.  Note that some of the information in the spam is totally
false.  Some is just plain funny/silly, such as:

"If GTE/BBN has a brown-out tomorrow, their customers are out of luck if
their network fails. At Exodus, traffic for all of our customers would
just get rerouted either though our own backbone, or through another major
Internet carrier (like UUNet)."

IF their network failed, they would be out of luck... ;-)  IF the GTE
customer fails, Exodus customers would get rerouted... Thats reassuring ;-)

Marketing speak. Gotta love it.
