Re: Such Thin-Skinned Crybabies!
It would be interesting to see what The Thing's service contract is with Verio. Perhaps The Thing might be able to go after Verio for shutting down their WHOLE DAMN SERVICE!

| Ironic that Verio is cancelling them over this, especially given that once the site was removed, The Thing was not responsible for the content.

And yet Verio let's the spammers run free and crap on our mailservers.
If you'll excuse me, I need to go to blocklists.us and add verio to my border router... |

| The big webhosts are always gonna have issues w/ people.
A lot of companies use them, and then a lot of spammers use them, and then - well, u get the picture.
It's like AOL.
A lot of spam originates from AOL.
It's consistent with the amount of users they have. |

@fl.sprint-hsd | Actually, rarely does spam come from an AOL user that isnt just burning up "1000 free hours" CDs. AOL will nuke a spammer rather quickly, as will any responsible provider.
Verio is not one of them. |
