Hello,
I'm guessing that you've scraped my email address from one or more professional mailing lists (NANOG, cisco-nap, et al).
Being in this business, you should probably know that unsolicited marketing emails such as these, even when targeted, are *highly* frowned upon and do very little to enhance your company's reputation. Most call it "spam". More to the point, they annoy the hell out of me personally.
Please be assured that thanks to this spam, Choice Resale will never be considered as a candidate for my network resale needs.
NANOG, cisco-nsp: any of you get this too?

In this day and age, while perhaps unsolicited, it's far from the spam that overwhelms my mail servers and annoys my users.
Often times when I get these (and it's pretty often) I just take their email address and add it to my list of people we send out RFQs to. The worst thing that happens is that they come back with a good price, good service and boom, I've found a new vendor.
I'm not justifying the unsolicited email you got, but it's hardly a high crime worthy of annoying Cisco-NSP and NANOG. Nor was it worthy of trying to publicly shame somebody who might not know any better.
