Dear Stanford Oliver,

I’ve always been taught that if something “looks too good to be true it most likely is,” which is why I am writing (I’ll get to this point in a bit). I am unsure if you are familiar with the social networking service “twitter” and how it works, but regardless, I want to bring to your attention something called the “Twitter Traffic Machine” (located unsurprisingly at http://www.twittertrafficmachine.com). This “service” is a scourge on twitter.

The mastermind behind this system is a man named William (Bill) Crosby. While the contact information for this site is not readily available, the contact for his personal site http://www.billcrosby.com is listed as:

Crosby, William bill@digiflight.com
222 E Del Ray Ave
Alexandria, Virginia 22301-1326
United States
703-966-9576 Fax—703-519-1617

I have no idea if he is an employee of yours, but you will notice he is using a digiflight.com email address. Now, I am making no judgements as to the site itself, but I will say it looks too good to be true (and is annoying as hell). Legions of his “followers” send this site out to unexpecting recipients every day. Any association, no mater how tangental, makes your company look bad, and by extension you personally.

So I am writing to implore you, please, make him stop! At a minimum, you will want the digiflight.com address removed.

Thanks for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Christopher L. Jorgensen
