The People at Ramcolo are a Bunch of Idiots

For a couple of months now I have been receiving email from various addresses at ramcolo.com. It’s pretty clear they confused my gmail address with someone else and for whatever reason they keep ignoring my frequent requests to stop sending me stuff. So far they have sent me:

1) one Windows XP Pro license key (which I may use if I install Windows on my Intel mac via Parallels) 2) IP addresses for servers they maintain 3) admin passwords 4) various price quotes

But the kicker was when my email address was added to a system that sent out automated server status and error reports. I thought the Irregulars could cause a pretty decent mail storm but they have nothing on this system. I was getting dozens of emails every day. It never stopped, I had to add the offending email address to my blacklist.

I have emailed them on several occasions alerting them to the problem and have encountered nothing but silence.

The funny thing is that I get e-mails all the time for various “jnolans”, I guess it’s an unfortunate side effect of scoring a really good gmail address. This happens with enough frequency that I have actually gotten to know some of these people, which so far include a Josh Nolan, Joe Nolan, Joan Nolan, and another Jeff Nolan (he’s a poet or something… he’s waiting for jeffnolan.com to expire so he can grab it!). I have received emails with everything from board materials from a church to digital photos of a vacation (nothing salacious). It’s usually pretty easy to clear it up, and has resulted in a couple of good laughs… in fact, Joe Nolan and I have more than the occasional email asking if something either of us has received is for either of us.

Who would have figured that gmail would unite all the jnolans of the world.
