An earthquake on Tueday near Taiwan caused widespread disruption to telephone
and Internet networks.
The quake affected an area of the sea bottom with a lot of undersea cables
that broke, and since there is only a limited number of cable repair ships,
it will take at least weeks to fish them up and splice them.

In November, Mark Mumma, who runs a little design firm at webguy.com,

The message did not have the postal mailing address of the sender (pretty
ironic, huh?) nor opt-out instructions, both of which are mandatory
under CAN SPAM.
Did the USPS break the law?
