Karl, *You* may wish to make your life more convenient by bringing government force into your relationship with other network providers, why by what divine right do you get to impose your convenience on others by force? Just go ahead and filter the offenders. When their customers cannot reach your services, or their server customers get contacted by your customers about the policies of their ISP, either they will change their policies or they will loose customers. It is MUCH more effective to guide business policies by the lure of money than by the gun. Each and every network service I have worked for has, once the benefits of cooperation were pointed out to them, changed their tune. Maybe if it were someone advocating force against YOU you wouldn't be quite so pleased at the prospect as when you think the cavalry is coming to rescue YOU. Curt-
