So, anyone else get spammed by Telx after posting to nanog?
This is massively unprofessional.

He has spammed by responding to posts that people have made in the past, he
is still trolling I guess.

Yep - just got one a few minutes ago. I was just getting ready to spin up my trolling-for-business-by-scraping-addresses-from-nanog-is-bad-mojo response.

\o/ i got one too, i'll put a bunch of sales droids on this "George" from telx right away to make him an offer in return *grin*
(this is how you treat ppl trying to sell you something in an aggressive manner, you just have your people try to sell -them- something in return 
Ya, i got a message 2 days ago from them. It was very vague. Only
2 sentences.

I did respond directly to him, and got a somewhat indignant response back, stating that he had no idea what I was talking about and that my contact information had come from an "opt in email broker". It's going to be one of those days....

I didn't even respond. I think many of these
high-pressure-aggressive-types always have an answer like that conveniently
vague enough as to give them an "out".
I did mention to him that such tactics were likely to create a large group of people who will never do business with Telx. It's equivalent to having someone call you out of the blue to sell you a car, whether you're in the market to buy or not.

In other words he bought a list of leads.

Possibly, albeit a poorly screened list of leads.

needless to say their own website is slow as poo through a coffee filter 
reminds me of the isdn days
we have something exitig happening at telx! we are now connected to the "backbone" through a 128kbit/s adsl line!
No he didnt. The one he sent to me actually included part of the thread he picked me up from.
I told him the most exciting thing he could do is to not spam me again.
Poor guy, did nobody tell him?
It's a little hard to says that with a straight face when it has a copy
of the message posted to nanog attached.
It's even more "amusing" when your company is already listed in the pdf.
The message I got was a bit more sanitized. Guess I was lucky

I've been getting voicemails from someone, leaving a first name only saying
they have question that only I can answer. Dangling bait like that is a
big red flag so they don't get a callback.

Yep. I shot a complaint to customerservice@telx.com. Assuming Mr. Fitzpatrick does not control that portion of the company, it may be of value for other recipients of his spam to do the same.
