spammed by a hardware resale outfit...

Hi all,

Received a spam-and-cold-call-to-my-cell-phone one-two-punch
this
morning by an unrepentant Michael Andolino from Network
Liquidators,
Inc. of Oldsmar, FL.

Anyone else get an unlucky start to their Monday?

I'm beginning to think that nanog.cluepon.net needs
"good guys" and
"bad guys" pages so that we can all make doubly
sure we're not doing
business with spammers (and just as importantly, a community
resource
for reviews of used equipment vendors).  Thoughts?

I like the idea of a 'these guys were good to me' page, I'd
be a
little hesitant (yes, lame) to call out folks unless
someone's ready
to deal with the 1:1000 crazy that says someone on cluepon
slandered
them (libel? I always get them backwards).

Anyway, somewhat like the vixie personal-colo page, help for
folks
looking to complete a job (buy gear/services) seems like a
good thing.

I like the idea for a page that recommends folk, but would
suggest 
dating the comments (so that someone who *used* to be good
doesn't have 
the same cachet as the person who got added yesterday).
There'd also be 
the need to make sure, somehow, that recommendations were
not (shall we 
say) motivated by something other than altruism.

On the other hand, there doesn't need to be a bad guys page.
 The 
archives are public, and mirrored multiple times. Google and
Yahoo will 
provide that service for you, free of charge.

After twice asking to be removed from list via email and
once via voice
(yes, I'm too nice) they are block and forget here.
