So yes all the other comments related to the technical question and although all appear to suggest best practice as you have said, MWEB did not necessarily not adhere to the standard, they just did not adhere to the best practice.

Correct.

Their team said: "For this to be an ethical matter there had to be malicious intent , which I assure you there wasn`t."

It's really academic at this stage as I do agree with you, unfortunately as MWEB correctly points out: the ISPA code of conduct does not properly deal with this type of activity. I suggest we consider a clause in the Code of Conduct to limit this type of activity. 

Sincerely

Alan
