very narrow minded thing to do. keep in mind that the internet is a global
entity, and by blocking that particular IP class, you'll have blocked me
from being able to reply to you.
So is blocking 224.0.0.0/4. What's that got to do with blocking Alan's 61.0.0.0/4 netblock? By even *joking* about such a thing, you're putting yourself into the luser subcategory, tantamount to those advocating blocking all European domains because "they get so much spam from Europe." Purely an admission that they shouldn't be administering anything that has to do with the Internet.
