Somebody actually reads those???
I generally don't pay too much attention... In this case, I hadn't even seen one. But, for whatever reason, after the email was composed, I suddenly thought maybe I should check. The last thing I wanted to be responsible was somehow violating a contract or something. Who knows, maybe it's in the blasted 9 billion page agreement that management types sign when we get service from people.
In any case, InterNAP's was a far cry from the kind that you parody below. It really only was that one sentence....
"The contents of this email message are confidential and proprietary."
Nevertheless, maybe I should post it anyhow. It's not like it shows them in a bad light. On the contrary, they've been the most in-touch and seemingly truthful amongst the providers we've had.

It wouldn't be the first time INAP's e-mails have been posted. But really it doesn't say anymore than what's already been said on this list thus far. Fiber cut, some routing horkage on the West Coast with gblx and maybe some other providers, people working on it, no ETR, yadda, yadda, yadda.

Actually, an InterNAP Support Engineer on this list just said it was fine to quote the notification since it was a widescale issue. But, as Chip says, it's kind of old news at this point. If people want to see it though, I can post. (Actually, there were two.) Thanks, Rick sigless
