How many people on this list fall for this sort of thing? (Rhetorical question only - please don't email replies to me or the list)
So you say it's ok for bank phishing. What about ebay/trademe/other auction/sales sites?
Perhaps the correct response is some (more) user education and then allow evolution to take over - those people who are too stupid to work this out lose all their money and then they can't use the Internet any more. While ISPs will lose revenue from them they're probably the ones who cause 90% of the help desk calls and so profitability goes up and we all get more time for beer.
