1. They needed to stop doing so a few decades ago. Anybody still doing
it today is doing it on purpose, which of course leads directly to the
question: why?
2. In the case of this operation, perhaps it's because it has a very,
VERY long history of support for spammers and other abusers. A quick
glance at data-on-hand shows 250+ incidents over the past decade, and
I'm sure that's only the surface.
3. There is no point whatsoever in reporting abuse to them. The most
likely outcome of doing so is that you will be targeted for retaliation.
4. With that in mind, isn't it curious that I posted a comment in this thread
on 7/27 and then on 7/28 observed this (heavily redacted) from their network
