While I understand your frustration, lest we not forget, providers are in the business of making money, and solutions of this type today only add to churn, additional operational expense and liability. It's not quite so black and white as you make it, unfortunately.

Unfortunately, if ISPs don't do _something_ to "clean up their own backyards", I hate to think of what the alternative may be.

With that, as Sean points out, providers are trying to address the issues in an business-savvy manner and some do seem to have reasonable (IMO) solutions underway. But be careful what you ask for, some of these solutions you're mandating might very well resemble SiteFinder-style schema's (or far worse) in order to justify the investment by the providers.

Indeed. It's a hairy problem, but an important one that needs to be addressed. - - ferg -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP Desktop 9.5.3 (Build 5003) wj8DBQFF16eOq1pz9mNUZTMRAhNYAKCSmQieIM8K44H4AnRWcWbXVwax8wCglsF6 BMb6JC95v5IrtIH2x+MYMw0= =T5dQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- "Fergie", a.k.a.
