I love spam from Honduras. I am hoping that someone is going to kick this email from the members list.
I'm hoping for something a tad more drastic. The bozo has an upstream, and this is NANOG. :)
Back when I was at Berkeley, we used to punish offenders by routing their packets out to Finland and back (before Finland's net admins figured out what we were doing and quite rightly complained).
Does anyone have a very lightly used, long long low bandwidth link they can dedicate to The Cause?
I'm thinking wire cutters would be more effective.

No, no, no no. The objective is to maximize wasted spammer time. The trick is to not just disconnect them - that happens every day, they just move on. It's to make their life irritating, painful, and less productive, to the point where time they'd be spending getting new business and working on new anti-filtering technology is spent corresponding with net providers and doing network quality checks, wondering if they should or have to bail out of a now flaky network. With just the right mixture, you can waste five, ten, twenty times more of their time with a carefully engineered glitch than you can just chopping them off. They've already factored wire cutters in; raise the bar. -- -george william herbert george.herbert@gmail.com
