In this day and age, while perhaps unsolicited, it's far from the spam
that overwhelms my mail servers and annoys my users.
Often times when I get these (and it's pretty often) I just take their
email address and add it to my list of people we send out RFQs to. The
worst thing that happens is that they come back with a good price, good
service and boom, I've found a new vendor.
I'm not justifying the unsolicited email you got, but it's hardly a high
crime worthy of annoying Cisco-NSP and NANOG. Nor was it worthy of
trying to publicly shame somebody who might not know any better.
Bad netiquette isn't combated with more bad netiquette.
