helo Brent - you're definitely blessed with an especilly friendly ISP !
Most ar not this any more, these days; one of the worst examples here
around is that ex-monopolist Belgacom's (where my subscription to the
Nettamer lists survives for strictly historical reasons.)

I think your proposal makes sense:

Which is what I meant too, in principle. Only it's indeed "dangerous",
it took _me_ quite a lot of time (and lost mails) to really find out
what was going on at the various ISPs since mid last year. So the
warning should be *STRONG* enough - and clear - so that people
starting to use N't really get it.

And to repeat, it's less a problem of Nattamer as such but tather of
the worsened environment at many ISPs.
