    I think that people will eventually get so frustrated with spam that
they will just start using these more aggressive blacklists to block and
anyone who complains will just be told to find a better ISP.  In the end,
there will likely be a class separation between dirty and clean ISPs, and
very few in the grey area in between (as seems to be the case now).
