No, if you expect anyone to use it, you need to publish a set of
criteria by which you list IPs. Nothing to do with hype - if anything,
Jon and Dave and the rest have been trying to point out to you that
blocking 1/4 of the Internet isn't a bold claim, it's probably a
sensible course to take given million-host botnets, but it's
*irrelevant* in the context of this discussion. I could provide you with
a DNSBL that lists five hundred thousand IPs, but if they're all legit
mail hosts, you'll end up with a high FP rate should you use that
list to block inbound mail. Go, now, and read the BCP I sent.

/me resists urge to also school you on DHTML, which is not the same
as Javascript, and certainly wasn't around in 1994. ;)

At any rate, I think this troll is full to bursting, and we should all
just let him go off and sit under another bridge.
