[WikiEN-l] JarlaxleArtemis/Grawp

[Jay Litwyn]

verizon.net is listed at http://www.rfc-ignorant.org/ for having no 
operational postmaster@, which is strange, because usually a non-functional 
abuse@ comes first (security@ is not operational, either, apparently, no 
replies, not even auto). Assuming that I can believe ALL of the edit 
summaries...Maybe Grawp can get a public mischief rap. I'll check Virginia's 
law book.

Verizon's phone number is a one-way message saying very little other than 
introducing you to security@ for things other than spam, so that leaves 
their snail mail address and blocking their whole netblock. Hopefully, their 
own users will complain to someone who answers at verizon. Can't make that 
much noise, myself...just hope that either Durova or Carcharoth is reading 
me.

Don't hold your breath for getting this done in formalities before Ukrainian 
Orthodox Christmas. Blocking the netblock can be done in short order, 
physically, and there might be rules against it. Verizon has over 65536 
addresses, though, so I don't think blocking one number at a time is a 
sensible use of human time. Some judges lean towards Anne Landers when she 
said "No one can abuse you without your permission.".
