Yeah, good point. I kinda wonder what Emory and Clemson told Gwinnett Inc.,
and what Gwinnett Inc. told its clients. Have we got companies conducting
corporate business over research segments of the Internet, because they
don't know any better? I'm not saying that these universities or this
network provider are involved, but it's only when something like a random
mailshot happens that we would ever find out about it!
