It is not arrogance, it is experience.

Again, if you sign up with someone, who cannot properly maintain their
system, you reap those benefits and blacklists.

I do not wish, to use your eloquent term, "suckdom," upon anyone. If
your ISP is improperly configured or the admins allow folk to spam, you
get what you pay for. I don't have to step down. You might try stepping

One of the ISP's, I most abhor, AOL, has far more stringent rules, as
far as email goes, than I do.
