If a spammer runs his own ISP server he would have to set up his ISP so that it is subordinate to somebody else's network, right? Then when he gets caught spamming, the network at the next higher echelon could take him down, right? Isn't that the way the system is set up? I don't know how a bunch of rogues and renegades can acquire and set up their own cannon and start firing away at everybody in sight without disclosing their position to everybody out there. It ought to be very easy to get a quick fix on their coordinates and take them out. Why can't the spam cops do their job?
