I recall watching a lot of ESP folks have to run and defend themselves against false and incorrect statements posted there anonymously. It's a bit hard to understand how you can come here and cry about the exact same thing. As far as Mick not reaching out to you directly, I don't blame him. You are Not Impressive. The first any of us heard of you was stumbling across your typo-laden rant against Spamhaus, expressing surprise that other senders would support such an organization. I note that you took that post down, I assume this was your way of crying uncle after receiving too much negative feedback. I'm sure you can understand how your railing against an entity that we all support as a bringer of best practices combined with very weak public policy statements might make us question your actual commitment to enforcement of best practice requirements.

Instead of hiding behind an alias, why don't you debate me in a public forum with your real name? Concerned Internet User,

I know what you would do, you would squirm around and cry and moan and say it wasn't spam and that you follow the I-CAN-SPAM law. Well in the real world CAN-SPAM is a joke. @Elie,

Instead of paying lip service you could have actually contacted someone that has the power to stop this. Oh wait! You work for a competitor that would rather bash instead of trying to help the industry. Warm regards, Elie Ashery President & CEO of Gold Lasso Mick,
