So identified.com came to my attention today because it is sending email, gradually, to every email address and mailing list at MIT. I am still on a number of mailing lists at MIT, including some that haven't been used in many years, and they are all getting email in alphabetical order. (Does anyone know what sh-leech-wrestling@mit.edu was even for ( Read more... )

I got at least four of those and I never went to MIT.

I was trying to figure out what on earth identified.com was. My inbox is silted up with their messages, including one from Brandeis, maybe, God knows.

demonstrates either that they don't understand what's going on or that they don't think that I understand what's going on

I do so hate it when I ask for an explanation of a change or fix and get incompetence or baby talk in response. That said, I suspect the person replying to your twitter was several removes from whomever looked at and addressed the problem, and may well not understand, even if someone over in ops does.
