1) These people aren't using the blocks
and addresses are getting hard to find
2) These people share part of the blame
by not "watching their back yard"
I mean - just to hand a class B back to
these corp's that are all firewalled??
Really...
(yes - I know it causes some problems
and you need a fancier nat to get to
the address space on the net that matches
your internal space.. but GEEZE)
This WOULD NOT be nearly as big a problem
if there wasn't so much WASTED space out
there.
Heck! We should be glad the spammers bring
the blocks to our attention so we know
we can take them back.. The hassle is
practially worth the service of them
ferreting out all the address space :)
