I can't believe all the hate-mail I just got for this. I must have hit a real nerve. It was a sarcastic comment, folks in EDU are seriously humor impaired. Doesn't anyone know what <grin>s are anymore? What I meant was that blocking entire RIR block is the same as blocking entire TLDs, equally counter-productive. It may be effective, but it is also tossing out babies with the bathwater. Cutting your Internet feed is equally effective. I don't think that anyone here will do that in the near-future. Even blocking large SLDs is questionable.

Not too far off. Many dot-com's routinely block *.edu. After all, neither students or teachers, in the US, have money to buy things with and CS students are the worst kind of script-kiddee. <grin>
[students are always broke and teachers are chronically under-paid]

So pretty much, you wish to create many different Internet 'islands' by isolating networks that are assigned address space from APNIC and RIPE?
I think it was intended as sarcasm. :-)
