Agreed. I got the "kill report" within 4-5 days of the SC report. CBL 
showed the IP detected 1.5 days ago I think, so I suspect that Sky let 
it go for more than 3 days. You're dead-on about ISPs having a financial 
interest in pro-actively hunting zombies.

Still, I wonder what the average "kill time" is. Sky must be on the 
better end of the spectrum?
