hi paul, hi everyone,

i'm back and digging through my mail :)
if it's up to me, i won't be blocking entire isps for now. i'd rather we
close the list and get some additional spam blocking in place, see how
it works.
*BUT* if the current spam madness continues, there might come a time
where use of the Big Cluebat (tm) on incompetent is called for...

not a very nice way to put it, but sometimes all you can do is to pass
the unpleasantness on to some innocent man in the middle, in the hope
that they will attack the problem at its true source when the pain
threshold is reached.... IOW: tell your isp in very clear words what you
expect of them and how the usability of their product is reduced by
their not adhering to internet best practices.
