I wonder if a unresponsive and/or uncooperative ISP would 'have time' if it were clearly stated in an intrusion report that lack of response/cooperation would result in the blocking of the ISPs subnet at your firewall for an indefinite time period and notification to public security posting identifing the ISP and your response so that others may do likewise if they wish(censure if you will). The ISPs customers may have something to say if they start to loose access to substantial portions of the Web. I suggest this as a possible response to an unfriendly neighbor that supports the pillage of the neighborhood by his houseguests. I would hope to promote personal responsability and accountability in the neighborhood. Bill C. -----Original Message----- From: Harlan S.

He did not want any more reports (I have sent two) as he did not have time and did not care about what his clients did. In browsing through the RR web pages I found that their AUP no longer contains any reference to hacking, cracking or other intrusions. Another report to a Korean bounced back. They post a contact e-mail address, but then never read their mail.
