This something you do NOT want to be on the wrong side of. IMHO spam is not a serious enough offense to warrant it. When people get the idea that they can control ISP's by starting a smear campaign with their other customers there will be a *lot* of bloodshed on both sides. I have been the victim such a campaign. One of my customers had a website that was anti-abortion; needless to say it was contraversial. When cries to me to take down the website didn't work, they turned to *my* upstream provider and started contacting *their* customers. End result was that they threatened to pull my T1 unless I canned the customer. This is ***NOT*** something that we want the Internet community getting accustomed to. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | -=I T ' S P R I N C I P L E T H A T C O U N T S=- | |=- -=ALAN KEYES FOR PRESIDENT=- -=| | Balanced Budgets Personal Freedoms Morality Lower Tax | |=-- http://www.Keyes2000.com. --=| +�������������������������������������������������������������������+
