It is off-topic but... 

While I agree it can and has happen, I do not believe that it is that 
common-at least in my experience.  I am one who believes in expaning blocks 
to include large swaths if IP space where abuse it rampant. Our policy is we 
LART 100% of the time for spam and block that IP. If the ISPs postmaster 
and/or abuse does not work we submit them to rfc-ignorant.org (an RBL we 
also use).  if they do nothing, we do nothing also and they stay blocked.  
If we get another spam in the same C-equiv we block the entire C.  Heck, I 
block entire countries.
