GE Commercial Finance, Stamford Connecticut:



On behalf of the Zero Hedge staff, I want to take a minute to apologize for our filtering your 439 packets today at our firewall. It's a bit touchy, and being the keen judge of character that it is, decided it no longer had to tolerate your toxic packet underwriting. In the future, we ask that you refrain from sending innocuous requests to random ports on our boxes in search of things clearly beyond your grasp.



Further, if this is a desperate ex-girlfriend attention ploy from the likes of CNBC carried out third party: we'll kindly remind you high school is over.
