Dear iiNET,
If you have access to my browsing history, why don’t you just look up the page yourself?
The page you refer to contains a clip by the pop group Japan from 1978, and the title of the song is “Adolescent Sex”. There’s nothing inappropriate about it, it even went into the charts for a while.
Regards,
Ross Sharp
PS. Kindly tell Senator Stephen Conroy to go fuck himself with a chainsaw. I’m fucking sick of this crap.

Re: Internet usage infringement notification
Dear Mr. Sharp,
Thank you for choosing iiNET as your service provider.
It has come to our attention that you recently attempted (on November 12, 2014) to access information about the organisation Exit International, a pro-e********a advocacy group.
Under current Federal Government Communication regulations, access to, or discussion of e********a is prohibited and subject to prosecution.
It has also come to our attention that you placed an online booking for a one-way international flight to Mexico for January 14, 2015, a well known destination for pro- e********a advocates, where the e********a drug, l******m can be obtained.
We are required by law to notify the appropriate Federal authorities when such information comes to our attention.
Please contact us immediately so that we may clarify these issues with our regulators.
Kind Regards,
The Team at iiNET

Dear Mr. Sharp,
Thank you for choosing iiNET as your service provider.
We refer to our email to you dated March 11, 2016 to which we have not yet received a reply.
We have attempted to contact you by standard Australia Post mail, however, our communications have been returned to us variously marked, “No longer at this address”, “Not here” and “He’s dead. Fuck off.”
Can you please confirm to us whether or not you are dead.
Kind Regards,

This is why I use Dodo as my ISP. The service is so unreliable I don’t have to worry about potentially doing anything wrong, and can rely on their mail server crapping itself so I never get these emails.
Hurrah!

Is this for real? I’m trying to decide whether I should ‘lol’ or cry in despair about my future
