I appears that ISPs (in general; there are exceptions, of course) do a poor job of notifying the end user when they get a notice. An outside person generally has no mechanism to determine the end user themselves. Think about it... how many of you have given your ISP your main email address or phone number, so they can contact you in case of problems? My ISP gave me some sort of email address when I signed up for DSL, and I have never once bothered to see if there is mail in there. I have 5 of my own addresses, domains, etc... thanks. Since I have DSL, they do happen to have my phone number. BB
