If the quality of abuse reports were better, more could be done about it. I have seen: * people complaining about pings * people sending screenshots of their firewall popup (with none of the information that would help us) * people sending us our WHOIS entry, with no further information * automated complaints, and I don't mean anything useful, more along the lines of "for every spam I get, send I HATE YOU to the provider" * someone even threatened us with a lawsuit because one of our dialup customers put an unflattering comment into his guestbook. The comment was along the lines of "you've got all these bright flashy colours here and that just looks ugly" - no swearwords, not personal insults, nothing. So the problem is that dummies complaining about other dummies clog up the pipes. Solution? I don't know, maybe shoot all the dummies. Tom Vogt
