Not operational, but related to the attendees in Philly
I'm getting a rash of emails (as are some of my colleagues at work that are attending in Philly) from vendors that act like they know me, and just want to "have a drink and catch up while in Philly". Just me, or are others seeing an increase in spam from vendors that will be there? -b

Oh I know, it's just never happened to me until this nanog, and I've been attending off/on since '94. (Ok, I probably got a few here and there). I just need to get older and more crotchety-er like Randy, maybe they'll leave me alone. -b
No, but it is annoying that "vendors" do seem to scrape the nanog attendee list and feel it's ok to spam those people. On Fri, 7 Oct 2011, John van Oppen wrote:

I have been getting some from vendors that already have my email, and/or already have a relationship with. Nothing from someone I've never dealt with before. If that is what you are getting, then that is pretty slimy. -Randy ----- Original Message -----
