Yes, there's a lot of talk here, some of it sympathetic, some less so,
but at least there's discussion. I expect a response from Amazon at
some point, but not until the visibility level becomes painful. One
other person in the Slashdot posts threatens to stop buying things
from Amazon. More of those will likely surface.

I a related question, if the IP addresses were spoofed, how could a
response be directed back? Don't the register attempts, because they
need a response necessarily carry the correct source IP?
