Thanks.  :-)

Which is their right, in some sense.  It does rather call into question
the wisdom of using their service(s), though.

>  63.193.123.122: IPv4 'adsl-63-193-123-122.dsl.snfc21.pacbell.net'

>Since pacbell didn't give any meaningful names to the IP addresses

Umm... 'scuse me?  Please note:

g1-13(4.7-S)[1] host 63.193.123.122
122.123.193.63.IN-ADDR.ARPA domain name pointer adsl-63-193-123-122.dsl.snfc21.pacbell.net
g1-13(4.7-S)[2] host adsl-63-193-123-122.dsl.snfc21.pacbell.net
adsl-63-193-123-122.dsl.snfc21.pacbell.net has address 63.193.123.122
g1-13(4.7-S)[3]

What more could a person ask for?  There's a PTR record for the IP
address, and the hostname from the PTR is resolvable to the same IP
address.  This is A Good Thing -- and far better than a lot of other
netblocks I've dealt with....  :-{

Something about the word "assume" comes to mind at this point....  :-/

Ah; thanks.  Not as bad as it could be:

[<<|<] 63.193.123.122 [>|>>] was found in 8 lists (of 438 tested)

I guess I still need to help educate the folks who are using the
disservices in question....  :-(

I just elided it, figuring that since you responded to a post to the
baylisa list, you'd see the response posted to the same list.  :-}
