This response is excellent. You guys should do a doc that combines this and 
Miss Betsy's on what to do when you are blocked. Is there any way to put a 
Why Am I Blocked entry daily that pointed to such a doc? I can tell you that 
when you have the phone ringing from angry customers and you can't actually 
talk to anyone at SpamCop, and your ISP is dancing around the question, 
tempers flare.
