They really should not tell you what they did, just that will handle it as they see fit. There
is a privacy issue here. AOL is very good about this, one of the few good things about them.Some never respond, so then you contact their upstream provider. ISP's are quick to respond when their backbone provider contacts them ! If you have got a pesky problem feel free to mail me
and I can provide you with this info. All I need is the IP the person used when they posted. Backbone providers tend to be better run and have staff that deals with this issue. They also do not like it when someone has to resort to blocking IP's when their downstream clients will not deal with abuse.How many people sign up a day; or is it a reasonable number that during times of seige
you could hand approve this till it blows over ?james
