=09Every ISP I have ever worked for and every ISP I have ever used=
has
eventually been convinced by me to come around to this policy. Do=
whatever
you want by default, but let trusted/clueful people opt out of it=
and just
get their IP datagrams from point A to point B.
=09I personally wouldn't sign an agreement with an ISP that allowed=
them to
molest my traffic in this manner unless it allowed me to opt out=
of it. I've
seen the headaches such assumptions about what everybody else=
needs/wants to
do can cause.
