I guess as a web host myself this spam really annoyed me, as it was for web hosting :angry:

Oh and it used my most hated technique for getting it read, the "Re:" as if there were already a conversation going:

Re: hosting services

From: Irene Morris <morris@hostex.com>

then your usual spam.

It is still sad that people need to spam to get customers. We do it by way of mouth.

They got our email address from the whois of DirectNic..... Well that is what I hope! They used an email address I only use with DirectNic. I don't think DirectNic would sell my info....... OR WOULD THEY?:eek:

Hmmm
