Nice going, Gadi -- let's insult someone who does a good job of protecting your network from his customers.

I spend at least 8 hours a week tracking down attacks originating from non-BCP38 networks. This is still a real problem, and the idea that BCP-38 is some fad that is irrelevant now ... I have no words for this kind of idiocy. Everyone should be doing BCP-38. Why don't you apply this to your network, instead of sitting around insulting people for your incorrect assumptions about their job?
