I think what Bruce meant about everyone having static IPs was not

  "Surely each ISP can get enough addresses so that each customer
   could be assigned a static IP thus providing a one-to-one mapping
   from IP address to person, then we could easily pin-down
   spammers from the sendmail tracks left in the email headers.

but rather,

  "Gee, wouldn't it be nice if every person had one and only one IP
   so we'd have a one-to-one mapping from IP address to person,
   then we could easily pin-down spammers from the sendmail tracks
   in the headers.
