I took a look at your main web pages and didn't see any reference to an
Acceptable Use Policy etc.  What is your policy on spamming from your net
or hosting spammers?  (Since you brought up the subject :-)

Is there any consensus on how to document threats from anti-spam
or pro-spam terrorists in a legally usefull format? 

This message is colored by just having received threats from one of
the more violent anti-spammers. Apparently a client of one of our ISP
clients sent out an advertisement for CPUs' or something like that.

I went to the anti-spammer home page. Ouch. Its full about how
guns are cool and usefull. What the benefits of *really* sharp knives
are. Scary. Can't decide whether its a total psycho or just trying
(with success) to project that image.

As much as I personnally wish for SPAM to just go away, it has to
be up to the legal system to sort that out.

We don't do dialup, so I guess we haven't seen much of this yet. 
There really are two terrorist groups here. Spammers and 
nti-Spammers.
