I believe this company is the one that sold the MS & Borders blocks, so they may be "legit" (whatever that means in this context). Also, they may be using a GMail account because it is likely they crossed some line with people (perhaps even the NANOG mail admins) and need a disposable account. Or maybe they really are running their business off *@gmail.com.... -- TTFN, patrick
