Neither are they impressed by people who can't follow simple trains
of thought and paragraph structure.

"This" referring to 'noc@att.net' and not 'nanog@merit.edu'.
I think it was plain from his message ("I need to contact them"
instead of "I need to contact you", etc) that he understood
that 'nanog@merit.edu' isn't the address for AT&Ts NOC.
It's not that I don't appreciate good flames, I just like
them to be properly directed.
