Hey, just for kicks I thought I'd forward this along.
A little history: I got contacted today by some droid from qwest saying
"Who is your network provider?" That's it, 100% of the email. So I wrote
back busting his chops a little bit, and his boss writes me trying to
cover his ass, and I bust his bosses chops a little, and then I get the
following forwarded reply.
Anybody know some contacts at qwest who would like to see this?
Andy

Wow,
Pretty big words from a guy that is part owner of a "mom and pop" internet
provider.. How many employees do you have this week? Ten? Eleven? The world
is your oyster Andy go get em pal.
It is pretty hilarious, when I contacted one of your employee's today and
asked if Excunet was a publicly traded company, her reply, "what does that
mean"? Where did you get that one Burger King? (I'll bet the rest of the
Excunet gang is about as sharp as a marble) I was thinking of investing a
$100. in your company, but I wouldn't want you sharp "data guru's" to
mistake my action as a hostile takeover. Watch out Microsoft, Execunet is
playing hardball. Hi from California, where the big dog's play. Just do me
one favor Andy... STAY ON THE PORCH.
Have a super day.
