Before anyone picks on Steves 'knee jerk' too much, Ive also seen the spam message, second hand from a friend of mine whos company is a client of ICONZ.... I also know who the source is, and Id like to say that its just plain *rude*.... I dont blame Steve for his reaction *at all*. Im sure that a fair number of AOL's customers wouldnt complain about this particular blacklist, since im fairly sure most of their customers arent exactly saying 'gee thanks for this most useful advertisement'.... I know AOL have contingency plans in place should everything fall over, and I know they wouldnt just 'switch off' - their clients will have the choice, and some time to do it in. As opposed to having one particular solution thrust under their noses. Unsolicited Commercial Emailing coming from one of our group, who do our best to discourage it? *That* sucks the big one. My 2c. I agree with Rogers comment entirely. Mark. At 11:27 26/10/2001 -0600, Andy Gardner wrote:

Attempts to pull our client base from us currently will result in peoples netblocks being blacklisted
Sounds like a reasonable way to encourage the customers to leave.
Commonly known as a "knee-jerk" reaction I believe.
The vultures wouldn't be the losers.
What is probably a better idea would be to expose the vultures in the media. If I found out MY ISP would sink that low, I'd be shopping around for an ISP with better business ethics.***
