Digex and Akamai are raping the ARIN whois database

Tue Sep 4 19:38:30 UTC 2001

Nothing like the smell of spam in the morning - coming to you through the
"benevolent" acts of Akamai and Digex - sent to POC handles blatantly stolen
from ARIN's whois database.

Yo, Digex: this just reminds me how much your "sales team" sucked the last
time around, when there was a DS3 contract up for grabs on an RFP.
This spam certainly cuts you out of any future consideration for a while:
You'll find yourself in good company with Savvis, I am sure.
