Okay, from an operational standpoint, who really wants a customer who would open this as a customer in the first place? It seems like it takes some seriously stubborn stupidity to do so. <slightly sarcastic suggstion follows> I'm beginning to think that we should start charging like insurance companies do... the more dumb things you do on the network, like opening stuff like this and spreading viruses, the more we get tocharge you.Of course we'd have to have someone maintain a central database of customers that have suffered "accidents" like this so they couldn't benefit from switching ISPs... too many offenses and you pay -a lot- for your internet access on a tightly firewalled ISP where you can onlyaccess stuff by proxy servers - I'm sure you all get the idea.There are of course a million different reasons this won't work, but it is a nice dream, eh?
One of the reasons might be in the legal system extant in some parts of the world. I don't agree that what follows is a good idea, but I am not a lawyer and I am not current in any of the relevant regulations. I am told that there are legally enforceable obligations to account forthings like complaints, resume submissions, job applications, some requests for information, and so on.
