Verizon vs. Europe

mikrorechner writes "The Register has a story about Verizon blocking all incoming email from Europe since 22 December. Why? To reduce spam. I know that some providers block countries like South Korea by default, but I was not aware that Europe was seen as a major spam source. Well, it seems Verizon knows better..."

    I've noticed that companies whose name begins with the letter "V" can't be trusted.
    For example, I have had business with about a dozen car dealerships.
    The only two that I had trouble with had names beginning with the letter "V".
    I don't do business any more with companies whose names begin with the letter "V".
    I would advise everyone else to do the same.

    Oh, yeah, and the Van Allen Belt contains radiation that is dangerous or lethal to astronauts.
    Coincidence?
    I think not!

    Also, "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier" was the worst Star Trek movie evar.
    So don't trust the letter "V", even when it means "5".
