I would suggest picking up the phone.  I've worked at an ISP that _did_
notify users who appeared to have pwn3d boxes, and that's what we did.

If Comcast thinks they don't have the people to do that, I say that's
_their_ problem; their choices are to hire those people, train their
users to fall for spoofs, or be a danger to the entire net.

Well, at least unless someone comes up with a fourth option.
