First, I don't buy this. I think dealing with abuse is *much*
easier for large operations than small.
But suppose you're right. Let me concede that point for the purpose
of making my second point (and generic "you" throughout, BTW):
Second, I don't really care how hard it is. It's YOUR network, YOU
built it, YOU plugged it into our Internet: therefore, however hard
it is, it's YOUR problem. Fix it.
Or if you choose not to: at least stop whining about how much you
don't like the way in which other people try to partially compensate
for YOUR failure.
