I generally don't pay too much attention... In this case, I hadn't even seen one. But, for whatever reason, after the email was composed, I suddenly thought maybe I should check. The last thing I wanted to be responsible was somehow violating a contract or something. Who knows, maybe it's in the blasted 9 billion page agreement that management types sign when we get service from people. In any case, InterNAP's was a far cry from the kind that you parody below. It really only was that one sentence.... "The contents of this email message are confidential and proprietary." Nevertheless, maybe I should post it anyhow. It's not like it shows them in a bad light. On the contrary, they've been the most in-touch and seemingly truthful amongst the providers we've had. --Rick
