The site I am calling attention to has a 'movie' done by Kimble which has an anti-Microsoft punchline which I thought FreeBSDers might find quite amusing. I run Transbay.Net and the return address of ecsd.com is valid. I'm sorry if you thought it was commercial spam. I wouldn't lightly toss such a thing onto the FreeBSD mailing list, but as I said, it's worth a laugh and is apropos pushing Unix versus Microsoft. Kimble had nothing to do with it and the post was not forged. I picked up the reference to Kimble's site from either rec.org.mensa or mensa.talk.misc. Once again, sorry for what might seem off-topic, but take a look for yourself. It made me bust out laughing, so I thought I'd pass it along. And yes, do take a look at it before you try to get Kimble's site pulled. :) www.kimble.org and click on the movie. -ecsd@transbay,net -ecsd@ecsd.com Ken McGlothlen wrote: > > I recently received a forged, unsolicited commercial E-mail on a COMPLETELY > INAPPROPRIATE MAILING LIST (questions@freebsd.org) purporting to be from > ecsd.com, but which was actually sent from transbay.net by kimble.org, a > customer of savvis.net. > > ecsd.com, you may wish to seek damages for the unauthorized use of your > trademark in association with this kind of questionable activity. > > transbay.net, please terminate the customer.
