Martin,

So is marketing, yet marketing does have an impact on revenue.

It can be useful to explain the abuse desk as being just another form
of marketing, another form of reputation management that happens to be
specific to Internet companies. Handling the abuse desk well (or
poorly) builds (or damages) the brand.
