Your property is not the issue.  It's your right to interfere with *my* property 
that's the issue.

People who create blocklists not caring is *precisely* the problem.

Yes, if you hold up the mail truck or the postman who's trying to deliver it to me.

I didn't say to test whether or not an IP address belongs to a spam-friendly ISP.  I 
said to test whether or not spam is emanating from that IP.  Testing anything other 
that that is, again, exactly the source of the problem.  It's trying to force someone 
to control a siutation that they have no easily-available means of controlling.  
That's what the victims of blocklists don't like.

>So, your test was satisfied.

No it wasn't.  You simply tried to redirect the cause of the collateral damage to the 
ISP rather than the blocklisters.

>My point is that there does not seem to be an existing ISP that runs

Actually, there are plenty of ISP's that run the way I want.  It's the blocklists that 
are causing the problems with their callous attitudes whereby they assume that they 
should not have to be responsible for their actions and remedy and incorrect listings 
they have.

And that pertains to a lack of legislation making spam illegal how?
