Having actually visited the UUNet NOC when I was in DC in May,
courtesy of an acquaintance of mine who works in UUNet Abuse[0], I
will say the following:
1. There are a lot of people working there. 33, to be exact.
2. The half-dozen that I talked to that were there on that day
(Saturday) impressed me as people who know what they're doing
and actually *do* give a damn.

They still have some issues with spamhandling, but that's gotten
MUCH better, according to the data I see in my Inbox. And of course,
DoS attacks must always be given a higher priority than junk e-mail.
