Thanks for this. It seems that our statements are indeed true but that
(hopefully) Sprint is acting to deal with the problem.

I certainly won't do anything to upset the 'spam cannon disarmament
process'. It will be interesting to see whether the legal department admits
the problem and claims they're dealing with it or (as I suspect is more
likely) ignore our questions and send a vague response back. I do wonder
why, if they are dealing with the problem as you suggest, they are so
reluctant to publicize the fact. I would have thought a simple message
confirming the problems would have been more effective that a stonewall
response of simply ignoring or denying the problem.
