Indeed.

Oh? I know _I'd_ be VERY pissed if my ISP blocked traffic to me.
Once that starts they could easily block traffic I want (after all,
attacks often use normal service ports because they're attacking a
service; block that and the service is no longer a service). Were I to find
my ISP block traffic gratuitously, I'd then start looking around.

Feh. You want to run ipchains regardless, blocking _everything_ except what
you actually want, not enumerating things you don't want, which is bodgy.
