5/16 I'm collecting siliconInfinity spams. Please forward (full headers)
any messages you get from them that you consider spam. Mailing
a 'please stop' message is also a good idea for the use of the spam
law, but I think it's pretty clear that their recruiting mail is
unsolicited. -jones
\_ I never respond because I don't want my email to be "verified".
\_ If they didn't get a "Mail Delivery Subsystem" error message
then your email address is "verified"
\_ That doesn't mean that your account is active. Email accounts
are considered inactive if the person hasn't read her mail
from that account for N months.
\_ these guys are a local haas(?) startup. They just need some
netiquette lessons. If you don't want me to forward them your
email, that's cool, but let me know if you got their spam and
didn't want it so I can tell them, "Hey, it's not just me that
doesn't want this crap!" and encourage them to look into other
ways of contacting ppl.
\_ Their message to me was something like "After looking
at your webpage we've come to the conclusion that you
are a very suitable candidate for a position in our
company." The list of tasks include web page devel.
java stuff, NT admin. They obviously didn't bother
to read my web page or my resume which states that
I was clearly not interested in any of this crap.
\_ Actually, they did look at web pages. Maybe other people
got generic messages, but they actually read that I worked
for Intuit and started drooling. -phale
\_ Wait... how can one be more attractive as an employee
merely by virtue of having worked somewhere? Whatever
happened to things like merit or intelligence or
productivity? Intuit has plenty of idiots, as does
IBM, or Microsoft, or whatever.
\_ Are you saying that phale is not an attractive
employee? How insulting!
\_ I fucked phale. Nice ass.
\_ Why Thanks. Now that I know
my ass is attractive to some CSUA
members, my life is complete...
\_ It's not like they thought Intuit was a superior
company. We definitely have our idiots (and not
surprisingly those idiots are old farts that can
barely use C++). But this lame startup thought
that I would know crap about finance, being that
Intuit makes financial software. If you didn't
notice before, this startup is creating "Internet
financial services" -phale
\_ This startup will fail miserably long before they
acquire enough importance to have the honor of
being crushed under the steel boot of Merryll
Lynch or Schwab.

Devin,
I am sorry that I have mistakenly sent the same email to you twice. I am
sorry that this led you to think that we are sending emails
indiscriminately, which is definitely untrue. We have made serious effort to
send emails only to people who put up their resumes on the UCB site and who
are likely to be interested in our openings. Unfornately we cannot
guarantee 0% error rate. We have also consulted an attorney who believes
that this should not be considered "spam" as defined by the CA state law.
Your is the only complaint we got (our fault, apologize again).
Beth
\_ They cannot guarantee 0% error rate? Methinks these guys are speaking to
the wrong audience to be using that sort of language. Fucking morons.
They deserve to fail.
\-these guys are lying ... they may have culled addresses by walking
the web but they clearly didnt "look at the web page contents" because
there is nothing on my web page related to to anything they could be
inteested in. and if they had, they would have mentioned what it was.
recommend threating to RBL them ... also mail their upstream provider.
--psb
\_my resume's not up... -jones
\_ I've also been getting (and deleting) silicon infinity
spam. It looks like all they did was go through the csua
hoping to score. You just have to delete their emails.
If you give them more attention some luzers might be
tempted to drive up to the professor's house up in the
Berkeley Hills to talk to this chick from an 31337
biz school who'll tell you their idea is the shit!
\_ What's the website? I need some easy cash. |
