    What do you do when someone decides to spoof a ton of scanning activity from
    someone they dislike, to get them on the list?  If you only react to full
    connect scanning, you won't catch many bad guys, but if you don't require
    handshaking, you become a great tool for the abuse of others.

    I'd be up for lending a helping hand in a project such as this - it might
    take some brave soul to host it though.  I would say you'd *definitely* need
    a lawyer on hand though to write a fairly waterproof usage policy.  Any
    lawyers on list who would help out ?

    Like the guy later on said - I suppose we should at least be thankful that
    they did anything at all.  Although it appears sending mail to abuse@ didn't
    , and probably wouldn't have helped at all.
