Having talked to Bill Rice over at iTera, I'm convinced he's a standup guy and that their company was picked "out of a hat" to give some sort of iSeries credibility to this sleaze campaign. As it turns out, the folks at Asymex never heard of "Midrange News" either, and are equally incensed. Unfortunately, the sleaze may go deeper than that, and get really messy really quickly. The "newsletter" is obviously from a company pretty well versed in email spam. And while the midrangenews.net domain is pretty well buried under the nom de web of David LaMarr, the Midrange News folks made a little mistake: the email came from midrangenews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Midrangenews.com is owned by Christopher Jones, who in turn owns Stellar Debris, a company that specializes in web marketing. This includes a "mock newspaper" called the Houston Record, which is a marketing tool for Bytware. It gets worse for me, since Stellar Debris also does work for MC Press, including (drum roll) an "e-Newsletter template". This is going to be very ugly before it is done. Joe
