It was really a suggestion that making snap judgments regarding someone 
else's experiences should be taken as only a small part of a good 
evaluation. If you used your methodology to evaluate something of 
greater importance in a large corporation and had to back your results 
you'd be laughed out of the company.

People get sick all the time in fast food establishments. Everything 
single company and location. You gonna stop eating there if you hear 
about one person getting the poo poos?

Why contact GoDaddy regarding spam? The network it resides on should be 
the only organization involved. And to be honest, if you have time to 
sit and report spam at such a low level you have too much time on your 
hands. Null route and move on :)

Yup, myself and the majority of the free world use them so yes I must 
work for them. Thanks for blowing my cover!
