ISP's have to deal with spammers and with folks who think it's a
good idea to bounce spam to abuse, root, webmaster, ...

Both the spammers and the bouncers are a pain; both are part of
doing business; and I wish both would go away and shrivel.  That
won't happen. We cancel spammers agressively, billing them a punitive
fee to their credit card (authorization in our Terms and Conditions)
and cancelling them with no refund.  The bouncers we don't bother
blocking, and we can't do much about. We, the tech support folk,
put them on a "twit list" on the wall and think evil thoughts at
them, wishing them indigestion, hangnails, and general disfunction
which will lead to increased irritability. We're sure it's working.
