I have no financial interest in the company and I was just letting the list know about a cheap solution that works really, really well for a tremendous price. That's an elusive thing to find and I managed to locate something that many of us need.
If you aren't a spammer, compare your review with what spammers write, noting key phrases "I bought one and WOW!" rings IMMEDIATE spam bells, further you went from buying one (note above) to "I purchased 10 individual temperature sensors and two temp/humidity sensors," for a total of 12.
All comparable solutions were $2000-3000 for the same number of sensors. I was half expecting to loose $445 to a scam company in Slovakia. I was very pleasantly surprised and I wanted to share my positive experience. I was excited because of the ease of setup and the dirt cheap price. If you don't need them. Ignore the post. If you do, or if someone searching the archives does, they will find my post useful. It is a lot more on topic than a lot of the nanog noise.
So I figure I'm going to call Tellurian tomorrow, and confirm you exist, hoping you'll forgive me for my lack of faith.
Look at the archives. I've been a nanog poster for years and an ISP for even longer. Tellurian has been providing Internet access since 1995. I am _clearly_ not a spammer!
Relatedly, don't capitalize words for emphasis,
It's a stylistic choice. I don't believe in html posting. In plain text, I have caps and _underlines_. That's it.
I note a previous post that stated that people will be able to search these lists when you're looking for employment and one must chose one's words carefully.
I haven't done anything wrong and I never wrote anything I will regret in the future. I really don't get it.
Anyway, I will give you a ring tomorrow, hoping that you do exist, and that you did send this, if not we can figure out exactly what's going on, and get it back to the list.
I am real. Look at our web site and look at the archives. I bought a cheap and elegant solution to a problem we all have and I wanted to share that positive experience with the list to benefit others. I was hesitant to buy it because it looked too good to be true and they are located in Slovakia (no offense to others from SK), but it works and I'm very impressed. Again, I have absolutely NO connection to them other than as a satisfied customer. -Robert Tellurian Networks - The Ultimate Internet Connection http://www.tellurian.com | 888-TELLURIAN | 973-300-9211 "Good will, like a good name, is got by many actions, and lost by one." - Francis Jeffrey

Well, if you had been on the list a little longer you would have realized that this is something that comes up on a regular basis and that someone has finally found an affordable solution helps a lot of people out. In fact, your reply was borderline creepy...maybe you need a different hobby then stalking "spammers". andy -- PGP Key Available at http://www.tigerteam.net/andy/pgp
