Actually, my intent was to get more of a representation on who actually
cares enough to try and prevent these leaks that I see from my peers
frequently. Those that don't really do anything to prevent these leaks
would be the peers that I would begin doing agressive filtering on our
sessions.
I would think that all the ISP's represented on this list get wacked
enough on other list topics, they probably don't need any more beatings
about this....
Take care,
Joe
