Open, anonymous services and dealing with abuse

 Well at least they are somewhat DNS responsible in that they seperate their
user IP space well. SO that it can be blocked. the really annoying ISPS's use
stupid things like  DSL1234.isp.com  And such. 

 Of course doing this does block those 1 in 100 people runing a server on their
DSL line and not requesting a reverse DNS change.
