Most likely true, but what would that say about OCCAID for having a 
policy, yet never enforcing it. I fully understand what your saying, as 
the policy on eggdrops on most networks would be to keep the bad ones 
from hindering others use. Yet, for OCCAID it would be like having a 
policy not to allow tcp6667, yet not blocking it, and further not doing 
anything when it is used.

To further expand, can we come up with an policy which allows occaid to 
be mature, respected and still serve transit customers. Yet at the same 
time keep users from totally polluting OCCAID? I may agree that 
bubba.gump.uses.irc.occaid.org may be acceptable yet 
i.like.to.sniff.peoples.panties.occaid.org would be totally unacceptable.

As Scott said, the dirty bits could transfer through the network, but 
not use the address space.
