BN> In short, what's your point?

SORBS lists Dean.  I suspect this makes him angry.

I'd have to dig through StopORBS archives, but the belief that companies
can run DNSBLs on their own servers lead to Dean accusing a few people,
self included, of being something along the lines of "the Internet's
most dangerous criminals".   Looks like it's Matt Sullivan's turn.

Let's all step back and use Google before launching another long,
pointless "I [don't] like your DNSBL" thread.  All that can possibly be
said probably has been said, many different times, and on many different
lists.

That said, I shan't post to this hopefully-short-lived thread again.
I've heard there are lists for this sort of DNSBL-centric bickering;
perhaps someone who cares about their existence can confirm, enumerate,
and direct interested parties (if any) that way.
