Spamnet takes a lesson from Microsoft
I've been using Cloudmark's Spamnet for months and allow the $1.99 to be tapped from my credit card promptly on the 3rd of each month. (Hey, they have their billing act down.) I get hundreds of spam messages of day like a lot of other nerds, and all-in-all, Spamnet does a decent job. But occasionally their servers are down, so when you tag a message to be blocked you will get a dialog as shown below.
No. None of those are correct, I'm afraid. Why don't they add a “4) We're experiencing problems which may or may not be due to our own ineptitude. We hope to be back online soon. Everything on your end is fine. We're really sorry.”
This bogus dialog message reminds me of those reboots in Windows 98/ME/whatever when your application crashes, you lose 4 hours of work, then the OS hangs as well, and you have to physically unplug and plug back in the power cord to the PC. Then on reboot you are faced with the message “YOU DID NOT SHUTDOWN YOUR COMPUTER CORRECTLY.”
'Nuff said.
