Hey.

I got the same spam from Brad and actually have Cat trash to offload,
so I iterated SKUs and counts, and his reply:

---
thank you Saku ...

Feel free to hit me up anytime and have a fun week,     Brad
-------

Dunno what to make of it, that's as far as it went. I expected offer
or 'we can't sell those', I don't know what this response even means.

So I decided to respond to a message earlier - was the first time in
quite a while on the NANOG list.  Like, we're talking maybe 3-6 months
since my last post?

This afternoon I get an e-mail from Brad Lovelace
<brad () networkequipment net> asking me if I have cisco, juniper, etc to
sell to his company, claimed I have done business with him before (even
though I've never sold any equipment to them, nor have we ever
communicated before - my e-mail archives go back to 1996 or so).

Isn't the first time I've been contacted by a networking gear vendor
after they 'mysteriously' got my e-mail address (shortly after I posted
a comment here) as someone who was interested in their wares.

We may have someone scraping e-mail addresses and names from the nanog
list - don't suppose the mods might be so gracious enough to look at the
sub list and see if anyone from networkequipment.net is on here?

Sorry in advance to go somewhat OT.
