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 (relays)? I would think that anonymizer.com and anything like it is blocked indefinitely. hotmail and gmail blocked anonymizer.com. Why should we not? As a jeneral rule, 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.
