Yes. About 10000% more experience than I wanted/needed.
The trick is to keep compaining to the owner of the WHOIS block.
Obscuring has become an almost moot point (see below).

Extremely. Besides, I've found out that "user at domain" is already
being scanned for by SPAM engines. The pest option seems to be to
stick by our guns and makle as many "last stands" as we can.
Compromise & retreat is just another way of saying "I quit". Personaly,
I'll quit when I'm cold & stiff. Until then, I'll cause as much gief
as possible to spammers *and* SPAM houses. I submit open relays to all
lists on FIRST offense.
Sooner or later, they will understand.
