Re: whatever it takes

You aren't just flooding their network, you are also flooding other folks who happen to be on the same network segment. If my ISP happens to be hosting a spammer (whether they know about it or not) and my website is sitting "next door" so to speak, then your flooding of the spammer's site might take down my site as well.

How would it be appropriate to take down my site just because the ISP I use also happened to be used by a spammer? And don't tell me that I should change ISPs. It's not always simple and there's no guarantee that any ISP I go to will be immune from collateral damage in the future. It's not a solution to keeping my site up and running, just a temporary patch until the spammer changes networks.
