WOW! That is most bizarre. Compared to 3COM, an ostrich with its head in the sand looks like the hubble space telescope. Jim Jeff Mcadams wrote:

This looked so incredibly lame that I couldn't believe 3Com would do something that stupid.

Makes me glad I don't own any 3Com stock. A company that committed to screwing their own best advocate and field support agent is definitely out to screw me. I can't really see how anyone can actually rep them at this point and maintain any sense of integrity. Aside from the poor attitude that fostered the obvious filter, consider the dumb-ass that was too challenged to at least configure their server to swallow the message into a black hole rather that make it obvious that someone is being filtered. It is damned obvious the whole group is a couple of fries short of a happy meal...
