Amazingly not! Still kind of spam I suppose, but sufficiently well targeted, non-salesy and polite that I think it's OK. 

Appassure has certainly put the ass in our apps, for sure!

(Actually, turns out that we're already one of Certum's customers, and they've mostly been OK, as far as I'm aware - I have nothing to do with the bits that they do.)

Further interactions with spammers - they dropped a Christmas gift basket of goodies (food goodies, not networking and virtual server goodies) into our office yesterday, and I've just had a cake from it for my breakfast (hey, it's Christmas!). It was a big Black Forest French Fancy thing, and very nice it was too.

Therefore, I totally endorse this product or service.

Well if that's not an endorsement then I don't know what is!

Teh Spam meets the real world!
