I can guess their reasoning for this is they're tired of bogus complaints (from address on spam/virus was forged to look like it came from them) or complaints lacking the necessary detail to take any action...but the way they've implemented their forms is not going to win them any fans. You have to click through multiple layers of forms before you can actually put in any details. None of the reason options are SPAM. And on my first try, their site caused Mozilla to crash. Also, I doubt this was a decision made by the "network operators", but rather by the abuse department or more likely, whoever oversees it, perhaps figuring that by having the web form CGI neatly categorize all complaints, they can get by with less staff (or clue) handling abuse. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis *[email protected]*| I route Senior Network Engineer | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________
