What does IBM have to do with anything?  He was posting from ibm.net,
the ISP, not ibm.com.  This means he is a customer of IBM's ISP
service.

And a sales pitch sent to one person is not spam.  Spam means it's (a)
bulk, and (b) unsolicited.

Has anyone *else* received this sales pitch?

According to my medieval text in the seventh century a finalizer raised a
dead object named Gorth who infected every computer in Cappidocia ending
Roman rule in the region.  -- Charles Fiterman on gclist@iecc.com
