This advertising overload will just cause people to 'develop' a filter, sort of advertising blindness. Just like what happened to ad banners on the web, i hardly even notice them anymore let alone click on them. And as people pay less attention to the advertising it's worth less and they'll have to find other sources of revenue...
Indeed.. this seems to be a 'solution' aimed at web users only, but dns affects a lot more than that. Some sort of browser url validation plugin seems a lot better solution to me.
I don't think people have anything against opera per se... they're just not very well known. Most of my friends have never heard of opera, but do know about firefox. Not that they use either of them, but still...
I've been using opera 9 for two days now and i must say i'm very pleased with it. It's a lot snappier on lower end machines than firefox (i'm using it on 5yr old 1Ghz celeron with SuSE8.0 linux). It's probably going to be my main browser on that machine.

Not only is the speed bad from here (.nl)...
I also wonder about reliability with only two servers sitting on the same network.

It could be an automated submitter like in TFA, not neccessarily one of spamcop's own addresses.
Latency is only important for interactive stuff. For bulk data transport is doesn't matter much.
Actually ipv6 addresses are 128 bits long...
The 6 in the name has nothing to do with the number of octets.
What are they trying to gain by scaring their users away, anyway.
Why don't they just close up shop and be done with it.
