Regarding the malicious attack on our site: please stop
Erik Aronesty
A few days ago, we received one anonymous complaint about
"degreeinfo.com". We normally do NOT reply to a single anonymous
complaint - assuming it is not a consensus opinion. Several days
later we received more anonymous complaints, apparently from the same
person, as well as several threats. Despite the threats, we responded
with requests for headers, links to evidence of abuse, etc.
Just today our firm came under a malicious, libelous assault,
seemingly as a result of some sort of strange entanglement with this
newsgroup.
ZoneEdit.com is a DNS (domain name system) company. Rather that spend
cash on marketing, we provide free services for thousands of websites
many charity/freeware sites, personal sites, etc. We are a reputable
firm. We spend hours every day fighting spam, and we are a founding
member of the www.dnsbl.org, a site dedicated to stopping Internet
abuse.
This message is addressed to the anonymous person that is now
attempting to damage our company, and is personally attempting to ruin
the livelihoods of our employees and their families:
