ORBS is a foreign entity. Out of reach. Vixie is ante portas. American, like you and me. Blackmailing American providers, breaking state and federal laws with impunity. People that subscribe to the blackhole lists probably have no idea who in particular they are blocking or to what extent. Or even why.
s/blackmailing/blackholing/i - and you have to remember, Vixie isn't blocking anybody's traffic (except for networks he operates). Individual operators that subscribe to MAPS choose what traffic to block or not block to their own networks. There's no blackmail there, and certainly no laws saying that I must accept whatever traffic anybody on the Net wants to send my way. Let's keep this argument in the bounds of reality, at least. -- Scott Francis scott@ [work:] v i r t u a l i s . c o m Systems Analyst darkuncle@ [home:] d a r k u n c l e . n e t West Coast Network Ops GPG keyid 0xCB33CCA7 illum oportet crescere me autem minui
