GoDaddy sold

Sun Jul 3 21:23:11 MST 2011

Lisa,

I hope you got my instructions on filtering out my emails I wouldnt want
them to distress you any longer.

1. You assume the media actually does anything investigative.
2.  You made a comment prior to my email about the mismanagement of godaddy
which by your assertions was off topic and I mistakenly replied to your
comment forgetting you hate me. In context their security manager at one
time could not apparently manage simple encryption of his own files so I
assume he is not overly security savvy falling them in line with the other
folks you don't like at go daddy but my point was invalid because you for
whatever reason hate me. In fact I gave you my explination off list but you
could not manage to be civil or adult about it so here I am sinking to your
level and annoying other nice folks but I can't help myself.
3. covered above.
