Frank

So why don't you blackhole their network?

You cannot force anyone to respond to abuse reports and you cannot force anyone to act on them either.

All you can hope to do is educate people so that:
- providers believe it's in their interest to act
- buyers choose vendors (providers) who act

I went into this during my presentation in Rome :)
