I look forward to talking to you soon.

I am currently doing a little of both sales/network admin at my company which competes directly with Jonathan's in the NYC market. I have some ?s about (network admins + sales people) for nanog folk:
- As much as I sympathize with JS's desire to get his company name and information out, is this kind of E-mail encouraged/discouraged on NANOG? (AUP: "Blatant product marketing is unacceptable." Does this fit?)
Would NANOG as a group agree (I know...you can laugh now.) that requests made here for suggestions are more often looking for technical people that have purchased from a company than a slightly biased sales pitch from the company you work for?
I'm not an anti-capitalist, but I do like to attempt to keep the SNR down and if companies force sales hats to the networking staff this will become much more prevalent. Jonathan this isn't intended to offend you either, so I hope you don't take it that way.
Not that I'm any sort of PTB here (or pretty much anywhere), but I would prefer that sales pitches of the type referenced be taken off list. So if we're polling & trolling, that's my opinion. -- Jeff Shultz Loose nut behind the wheel.
