Question #1: Don't we distinguish between DOS and Slashdot effect?

Question #2: Is everybody who posts a link on /. or another
DOS-capable service/newsgroup/mailing list supposed to find out who
hosts the URL in question and contact them in advance?

Imagine a clause in an ISP's user agreement: 

"We Provider will host the User's home page. The User warrants and
guarantees that his or her home page will not be interesting enough
to attract more than N hits a day. Violation of this provision will
be a cause for termination of service."
