I hav dynamic IP, myself, and it seems that typically, I get the same IP I
had last time if it is available, and it is always within the same 64k
block. What is more impractical is the manpower demanded by what we are
doing now, which is blocking one IP# at a time.

Do we not yet hav a policy regarding open proxies

anonymizer.com and anything like it is blocked indefinitely. hotmail

open
relays for e-mail are listed and blocked, so as a jeneral rule, mail
relays
only serve congestion physics and paying users.
Yes, we do have a rule. We also have a rule against vandalism. Hanson does
not care for rules.
Anonymizer.com is just one proxy. There are thousands
of
proxies. He also edits through a normal ISP. We can't range block that; it
would be impractical.
