H'mmmm As far as I understand it, Paul created the RBL for himself, so he didn't have to deal with all the crap that was sent to him. Then some of us asked if we could use his list of sources of spam, so we could stop the crap without having to duplicate his efforts (if we went through the same effort, we wouldn't need to take his feed, now would we?). He grudgingly agreed, as long as we acknowledged that this was precisely what he was doing. Taking care of his mailbox, and grudgingly allowing us to share his own personal data. At no charge. As a special favor. Where do you end up talking about a tool to beat people over the head being in the hands of someone who has wild mood swings. All Paul is doing is making use of his right to make personal decisions. The fact that a third of the Internet (or whatever the number) happens to want to use Paul's data, provided as a favor, has nothing to do with anyone else in the world getting involved in his process. It's his. I doubt Paul asked you to use it. So don't. Anyone else who has a problem should do the same. The byproducts of his list are not a requirement of his. Merely a byproduct. Cause and effect. A bonus. But definitely not a requirement. /rlj
