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?

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.
