 Well at least they are somewhat DNS responsible in that they seperate their
user IP space well. SO that it can be blocked. the really annoying ISPS's use
stupid things like  DSL1234.isp.com  And such. 

 Of course doing this does block those 1 in 100 people runing a server on their
DSL line and not requesting a reverse DNS change.

Well they accept mail at abuse () charter com but they certainly don't do
anything about it.  I have sent numerous complaints to that address with
absolutely nothing happening to fix the problem.  The address is a black
hole.

while they do not conform to the RFC, they receive accept mail at/for

And on the other hand, it is the CDC that would perform an outbreak
isolation, not the restaurant staff.

You're talking about a concerted effort.  So far, I haven't seen the
levels of cooperation between providers that is required.  I'm all for
everyone holding hands and squashing out issues.  But until you get
past the isolationist mindset (you must be sick of me saying that by
now) good luck...

I think we're both in agreement that until * starts saying "If I
don't stop this today, it will hurt me tomorrow", that the
cooperation required to address and stop these issues will be nil.
