I doubt many (esp. large providers) will start filtering IP/SMTP
traffic because (1) filters suck precious CPU, (2) they'd have to
maintain frequently changing filter lists, (3) and they'd increase
potential liability for traffic monitoring/filtering.

(1) a Null0 route works fine, and costs no additional CPU.
(2) i'm going to start a WWW page to register "bad" nets.
(3) several nationwide ISPs _are_ blocking moneyworld's net.
