Eeep... spam or not? Nei how ma? ;-) > Everyone who is doing legitimate things on the Net and who wants to > communicate with me knows that English is the language to use, and only > spammers do otherwise. Yes... the engineers know english (the ones that configure the Cisco routers and stuff) but the lower level tech support and stuff that have to handle the "day to day" things... their english definately ain't hot. The complaints normally go to them first... and if they don't understand it properly, most time they'll put it in the "read it on 10 years time" folder, or delete it straight out. > If due to some miscommunication most of Asia was to black-list me I wouldn't > be overly concerned.

Look at the newsgroups... look how many people from iAdvantage are complaining about Osirusoft blocking (since no other popular RBL is blocking iAdvantage anymore). Probably me and about 3 other english speaking people. You are right... i'd say 90% of iAdvantage customers probably don't communicate with the "West" that much, so they probably don't even notice the block. Heck... I didn't either until I tried emailing you, and got the ol' "blocked by Osirusoft" message. I suppose because I notice these things first I tend to be the "bringer of bad news" to people and hence get flamed most. Oh well.
