RE: OT: Interesting email I received

[Joe Blanchard <jblanchard () wyse com>]

I just had to call that number on his web page
and ask if it was some sort of joke, The guy 
there "Paul" didn't have any idea that his
services were disrupted, and he even seemed 
excited at the prospect of doing some Bulk/Spam 
Email for me. 

When I mentioned I couldn't get to his webpage
He seemed surprised. I ended the convo with 
"You should really read the TOS with your ISP" <click>

hahaha. I would love to hear the conversation between him
and Qwest Tech/Support. 

Cheers!
-Joe
