Actually, Dan, you are mistaken.  It is not our need that that will make that
decision for you.  It is your need to continue being a participant that will
make that for you.  The decision to change providers or not continue to
participate is one only you can make, or instead you could apply pressure on
the errant provider to do the right thing, and correct the issue so that their
users are not inconvenienced further.

People have various reasons for blocking mail from certain networks, and this
one is a valid one.
