I don't disagree but I've seen issues rise from elsewhere where overzealious legal departements subsequently requested that members of a "group" (ie: mailing list) must deregister from that group since their membership implied that the management of the organisation they work for agree with whatever opinion is voice by or on behalf of the group. That is way there are so many legal disclaimers in sig files (unfortunally). So I personally agree with the consensus of the group on this issue, on the other hand my employer_s_ most likely don't. The usual technical vs legal battle we have talked about for years. I would try and voice (for this issue) that technically the requirements are beyond what can be done within the limits of the actual technology on a _wide_ scale. You can prevent a specific customer from reaching the site but you can't enforce this policy on everyone.. and we know that we are in the business of carrying other people's data which is 100% different that your own company's data. I guess it's as if we asked carriers to blacklist zone prefixes (ie: 01, 022, 021)... it's the same scale. All that to prevent customers from "calling" one individual number.
