You know what’s sad?

It’s sad when the State Attorney General’s office has an “it’s not me” unit to deal with cases of mistaken identity.
…And things are so messed up that they work with a 3 week backlog.
Listrak sends me spam for the American Medical Association
MickC @ November 16, 2007 # One Comment
All of a sudden, out of the clear blue sky, I start getting email from the American Medical Association. This is coming to my personal email account, one that I have never given to the AMA.
As you can see, I’ve gotten 3 of them. After the 3rd one, I finally went ahead and [...]
Multiplying Goalposts

Some years ago I stopped following the USENET group news.admin.net-abuse.email. However, like many people who do what I do, it is somewhat necessary to follow for work-related reasons. So, I’m reading it again.
There is an interesting discussion going on now that is rather telling for people in the industry. It centers around [...]

You know, the guy you want to make sure doesn’t get spam is the ISP Relations Director for a more-or-less direct competitor. That’d be me. I know who I’ve handed that particular alias to (one company, [...]

Getting bail when you’ve just been repatriated after skipping the country to avoid prosecution:
A judge denied bail today for a 25-year-old teacher accused of fleeing to Mexico with a 13-year-old student, and the woman agreed to be transferred from California to Nebraska to face the charges.
Kelsey Peterson’s court-appointed attorney argued for $100,000 bail, but a [...]
The Long Anticipated Political Post

It doesn’t take people long to figure out that I’m one of those evil, terrible, mean conservative Republicans. In fact, if you’re reading this and got here from somewhere OTHER than a search engine, then chances are really really really good that you already knew that, and still manage to find a way to [...]

How Not to Run a Network
MickC @ November 2, 2007 # One Comment
So, today I’m going through the motions of work. A lot of what I do, of course, is quite mindless. There’s some evaluation and some discretion involved, but really, it all starts to look the same after a while.
Then, I come across something new. It’s something that seems to say that we’ve [...]
It’s hard being in court so much

If you’re the owner(s) of Usenet.com, you must really feel in a pickle.
One the one hand, you might feel really good. This month, Sierra Corporate Design, Inc., managed to take to trial a lawsuit against David Ritz alleging that the use of DNS is illegal in the state of North Dakota. It’s been [...]
