I had hoped for better, but alas, they're even less responsive than Google. At least Google sends an automated acknowledgement (even if that's *all* they do).

Nobody ever left footprints in the sands of time by sitting on his butt. And who wants to leave buttprints in the sands of time?
*Sometimes* google does better (I have observed it). Like some other hosts, google does not consider OT or abusive posts to be sufficient grounds for action. I actually agree with their policy, but do wish they would crack down on those who do fall under the policy.
However, if optonline allows such floods to continue in the future with any degree of frequency, it would probably be grounds for a UDP, even though they are quite rare; however, the abuse in this case is so clear in this case it pretty much indisputable.
But at the end of the day it is probably more productive to ignore them then escalate things. In the big scope of things they are fly's on the wall and not worth the effort (not really worth the effort of the messge come to think of it).
