I don't suggest ignoring the 'kiddies' that walk down the street trying to
see if my windows are open either.

80% of these systems have bveen compromized, and the owner doesn't even
know it.

Wouldn't you like to take these systems off the net?
You want one of them to run against your system (if you miss a security
bulitin?)

its easy enough to log and alert the isp.
