SG-aware companies that create addresses that you did not
Posted: Fri Dec 16, 2005 3:19 amI thought it would be interesting for folks to post companies that deliberately change the leading token of an address to circumvent your counter and avoid the SG eatery.
The other forum listing companies that spam is noisey with all the chat, so I'd like to recommend putting the company name in bold or with bullets. Please repeat listings so we can validate each other. I'll start off using this format:
<company>; <token YOU created for them (if any)>; <token THEY used>

- Delta Airlines - "delta" - "elta"
- Computergeeks.com - "geeks" - "g33ks"
However, it's unlikely that the leading character "d" would be mistaken for a non-alpha character like "<". If they were blindly trying to remove non-existent brackets, they would have also truncated the top level domain. There also would have been enough errors for them to recognize and reparse then resend - and there was no resend. Furthermore, they had been sending me email to the correct address for quite some time prior to switching to "elta".
