Let's start a public blacklist, sort of like a RBL reputation block list or 800notes.com, but for companies to "never 
to do business with" for spamming.

Hello Rodney,

I know things are pretty hectic right now with COVID-19 precautions
being taken everywhere. I hope it's not affecting your team too much, and
most importantly, I hope everyone is safe.

In recent months, I've been trying to bring your attention to BGP
optimization. However, our solution's other notable features can be of
utmost value at these uncertain times as the Internet traffic volumes and
patterns change

Etc Etc
