Using the RBL is volentary, your ISP dosn't have to use it.
I've heard the line before, "our mailing list is Opt-In, and is not spam", when it clearly is spam.
My ISP uses all 3 MAPS filters, which has cut down on a tremendous amount of spam, for which I am thankful. If there is anyone here who dons't think they are getting enough spam in their lives, let me know, the MAPS filters dons't catch all of the spam. I'll be happy to forward any spam that gets through the filters to you.

I belive it was Thomas Jefferson who said, "If we give up our rights in exchange for freedom, soon we will have neither."
I am opposed to giving up any of my rights, for any reason.
The real reason tech support sucks so badly, is that consumers really don't want good tech support. Oh sure, they complain about bad tech support, but when it comes down to purchasing a computer or Internet service or web hosting or any number of things that generally need good tech support available, the consumer goes with the lowest price item/service available.
How many of us have seen CUB Foods come to town, and shut down the local grocery, or Wal-Mart come in and close down the local clothing store, shoe store, pharmacy, etc... All because the consumer dosn't want good, they want cheap!
When the consumer starts demanding good service, and starts demanding good service with their check books, then you will see a return to good service and support.
Or check out these guys www.soncom.com I was one of their first customers. I've always been 100% happy with the service. Every problem I've ever had they've quickly taken care of.
I know they will give out a static IP, and they will even give you bridging mode if you wish.
