How many people thank the police officer for stopping them and giving them a ticket for violating traffic rules?
I do, but perhaps I'm uncommon in this regard. Your larger point, however, is completely valid: there is a relatively normal desire to have rules enforced on other people with more zeal than one would choose for oneself. Perhaps more transparency is a tonic for this? If ToS and the AUP are more clearly written and enforced as consistently as possible, I would expect customers to be less horked off by AUP/ToS shutdowns. It does surprise me that no enterprising person/group has turned this into a salable feature: "we're the network which shuts down spammers/infected/baddies." I could imagine that there would be customers who would rather give their business to providers who are more active in this regard than less, and that would be a way for a service provider to differentiate themself from the rest of the pack. -David David Barak Need Geek Rock?
