I think SPEWS is working just great... Look at what you guys had to do... Covad had to actually do something other than ignore the abuse complaints about their spam spewing customers (which they have many of).. plus you cannot , I repeat cannot contact the SPEWS admins, read the FAQ on their Website ( www.spews.org )... Again we are dealing with ignorant ( not rude) people who cannot be bothered to read documentation or FAQ's but would rather rant and rave at the injustice and unfairness of it all and pull the old poor me routine instead of addressing and resolving the problem.
