clean it up from pollutants [spam, ddos], add antibacterial [antivirus] agents,;) My hotel confirmation for NANOG 34 was marked as spam. Thankfully, the ISP let it through anyway.
It would be nice if the ISPs protected me from bad stuff on the Internet - but why are they to be held to a higher standard than similar services?
E.g., (not intended as a water-tight analogy) the roads around me have laws and enforcement (sometimes). If I am hit by someone who breaks a rule, my insurance takes care of that. But the road system offers no protection to guarantee my on-time arrival at a Wednesday night beering session. (No over-provisioning there.)
If we can't make it easy to get to happy hour, how are we going to make the Internet safe?
