| Even if the lawyers mostly win...
...at least Verizon's behavior will likely change.
If you didn't have an account with Verizon or try to send to customers using Verizon, you really have no idea how blatant and one sided this abuse was. They basically blanketed email blocks from any international IP range period. And what's worse is they gave the sender a 4xx error message, asking them to try again later with no intent of ever actually accepting the message...
So, if your definition of 'good email filtering' is that only your relatives who also have have 'joined in' to the Verizon network can send to you, then it worked great. It essentially turned their email system into something that looked like AOL's old closed off network... |

Corona, CA | I guess that would be a new "outcome based" legal system. |

How do you "mostly win". You win or lose, you don't lose halfway. Ok, how about "Even if the lawyers win more than the people they hired themselves to represent"? |

Also, that sentence makes no sense, "the people they hired themselves to represent"? Your sentence sounds like the lawyers hired themselves. At least that's how I read it. |
