I was just thinking that as I caught up on the thread. I ignore unsolicited sales contacts as a general rule. If they persist to the point of annoyance, I'll kindly advise them that I'm not interested, and ask they cease. If they still persist, I'll drop out the 'I'll never do business with you, and will start advising my peers not to do so either.' It's very rare things ever get that far. Just ignore it. Or if you're feeling saucy, go full on '419 Eater' on them and burn up as much of their time as possible. I have no ethical issues about wasting someone's time after they've been asked politely not to waste mine. On Wed, Jun 21, 2017 at 9:25 AM, Josh Luthman <josh@imaginenetworksllc.com> wrote:
Does anyone else feel this thread has generated more spam in their inbox than the vendors?

But as I said, harvesting emails is not illegal under can spam. And the requirement to not send you UCE to harvested emails is pointless, because how do you prove that someone did that?
Seed the list with one or two spamtrap addresses never seen in the wild. Wait.
In this case, the spammer was stupid enough hot only to abuse a list of technical people who run networks, but to brag about it within the body of the spam.
