Spam the bigwigs

[DVDA]

Hey guys

After reading Ian Fraser's awesome article "Come Halloween, come Telkom's digital apartheid" (which was discussed in this thread), I was so inspired that I thought I should mail it to every bigwig in the country, include $iswe, $teven White, and a number of other prolific people:

[email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]

Here is the mail that I sent to the above recipients:

To Whom This May Concern (and that is all of you)


Ian Fraser of the Mail & Guardian wrote an article about Telkom's November 1st ADSL price increase that I believe very accurately echoes the sentiments of very many South Africans. I emplore you to read it here: http://www.mg.co.za/articlePage.aspx?articleid=255417&area=/insight/insight__columnists/

If you cannot access the article, I have included it below.

South Africans are becoming desperate. ICASA have done nothing, and government have done nothing except admit that their shareholding in Telkom is the reason for their protection of what should be a private company (http://mybroadband.co.za/nephp/?m=show&id=983) - at least Lyndall Shope-Mafole has the guts to admit to it.

So really, what are you - as a member of the press, a Telkom employee, or government authority - actually going to do about it? The time for talking and promises expired on November 1st.

Regards
A very concerned South African

COME HALLOWEEN, COME TELKOM'S DIGITAL APARTHEID

(I pasted the entire article source here)

How about you guys do the same and spam the hell out of them until they wake up and do something?

Nicely done DVDA. I will do something similar next week. Gotta get these damned exams outta the way first!

Does anyone have Roy Padayachie's email addy.
I want to ask him if he is still trying to catch his breath after the verbal pasting he gave our telecoms industry?
He must be cause F'all is being done to correct it and maybe he should read this article to.

Lets hear if you get any responses DVDA.

LOL! Wasting precious bandwidth on what will probably first annoy and then get blocked, how ironic.

If spam worked then we'd all have fake university degrees and penis enlargement pills.

Welcome back DVDA you must have been on the moon [email protected] is long gone from Telkom

Fudzy: by "spam" I meant send them a whole bunch of mails, not advertise medicine and sexual aids. The term "colloquialism" might help you out here.

wiseass: Of couse I know Sizwe is long gone. But you'll probably find that most people have their email forwarded to their new address when they leave a company.

Post us if You get reply's. I got a few but they were so retarded and normally only defended Telkom and what thet stand for. Media coverage is the only power we have. Internet is one way, like hellkom and MyADSL. The frontline newspaper front pages should be the next. Maybe only mass action and organised protest marches and blockages that will atract media coverage will help

That makes so much sense! I think you just pinned "The Telkom way", the board all Spamtards!

Spam, colloquialism its still nothing more than annoying messages that will probably be ignored and filtered to bounce by their IT administrators.

Btw, you do you what your nick means?
