I'm now an office supply manager!
SEAN CONNER or OFFICE SUPPLY MANAGER [1]
I got some snail junk mail today addressed to either SEAN CONNER or OFFICE
SUPPLY MANAGER, CONMAN LABORATORIES. Heh. Hand written even.
Now, obviously, they got my name and address from Network Solutions, [2] as
that's the registrar for conman.org. [3]
Now, if you do a query on my domain, you get this following bit of disclaimer
from Network Solutions:

So the company that sent this out definitely abided by (1), and I guess by
handwriting my address on the envelope, they can claim conformance by (2)
above as well. But I feel sorry for the poor person who had to sit there hand
addressing all these letters from Ohio.
