>> How hard is it? You look at an IP address source, do a whois, contact people - they verify crapola is flowing from said source. They kill said source. Simple enough for you?

Exactly. THE IP SOURCE IS SPOOFED!!!!!! Do a google search!!! There is TONS of FREE software out there to let you do this. So you call up the ISP of the IP address and tell them you're getting spam from the IP. The ISP shuts off the service of Joe User who has no idea what is going on. Simple enough for YOU? That's why this is a bad idea, because there is no way to tell when you've reached the ACTUAL source of the spam.

>> THE IP SOURCE IS SPOOFED!!!!!

I know spoofing is widespread. I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about specific instances where sysadmins have verified the source(s) of spam, and acted upon violations of TOS, and terminated service. Why is that so hard for you to understand?
