wouldn't it be nice to be a BOFH on one of those ISP's, and get to kill all
those darned spammers.

oh the joy.

Sorry, you have gotten booted from this ISP, and been blacklisted at all
other isp's. Also, i took the liberty of canceling your Credit Card.

Sincerly

unfortunately such a blacklist does not exist, then you have to deal with
beancounters and PHBs who think:

more customers == more money

regardless that some of the (l)users:

(l)user == -money

You first have to convince the PHBs and beancounters of all the ISPs (mine is
convinced luckily) to band together to block spammers and particularly
troublesome users. In the later case it would only apply to the _really_
nasty ones.
