Re: No one wants responsibility

sent to a Canadian ISP.  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.

Wonderful.  I'm telling you(you meaning anyone that'll listen), there
should be a coordinated effort to yank the netblocks out from under
organizations like this(if in fact the individual is an accurate
representation of the org).  Given that DARPAnet and eventually the
Internet were founded on academic information sharing, research and
general mature responsibility, what would be so wrong with shooing these
undesirables off the 'net?

ORBS n' RBL essentially do this to mail services.  Why not just carry the
blacklisting a bit farther?


In browsing through the RR web pages I found that their AUP no longer
contains any reference to hacking, cracking or other intrusions.

That sounds like an invitation if I've ever heard one.  *sigh*

Another report to a Korean bounced back.  They post a contact e-mail
address, but then never read their mail.

Give the whole country one IP and NAT everything(even that may be
generous).
