You and many, *many* other people. I've complained to t-online
innumerable times about the behaviour of their users, and have
received no feedback whatsoever. I've come to the conclusion that
t-online (and especially t-dialin) users are a wretched hive of scum
and villainy; and that the company itself simply doesn't care.

If I could convince my bosses that blocking t-online ranges at the
border was a good idea, I'd have a much easier job as a sysadmin.

Shovels, pitchforks and other implements of destruction liberally
applied to the person responsible. There's no simple way of stopping
someone else joe-jobbing you.

It would help if anyone knew the correct German police department to
complain to.

I for one would particularly like to find whoever was 217.234.167.14
(pD9EAA70E.dip.t-dialin.net) at 23:53 on 14/5/04 and point out to
them that what they were doing was illegal and punishable by time in
prison.

(It goes without saying that t-online were informed and there has so
far been no response.)

 best wishes,
