It seems that more than just a few of us were spammed by Glenn Stern =
(gstern@calient.net), an employee of Calient following NANOG 70.
The spammer had the balls to say, in his email:
>=20
> We do not know each other. I'm leveraging the attendee list for NANOG =
to reach out and raise awareness of the value of OCS (Optical Circuit =
Switching) in the data center and in particular, the Carrier Neutral =
Hotel where we've been active with next generation MeetMeRoom =
discussions.
He does not show as an attendee at NANOG, but another executive, David =
Altstaetter, daltstaetter@calient.net did register, and may have even =
shown up. Hopefully those of you who have traditional community =
attitudes will show your reaction via your pocketbooks.
Maybe its time for the NANOG board and staff to step in, and develop =
some teeth to use in cases like these? Unless the majority of you =
members are cool with unfettered spamming of member and attendee lists. =
In which case, have at it!
