The first takers in a space are hit the hardest. Rementioning here is 
important. Do a google search and find any pages still mentioning 
blocking the range. Contact them and ask them to update. Then you have 
to start the long list with others. it's recommended you setup a server 
with 2 IP addresses, one in the range, one outside the range, so that 
people can check against them both to verify that the problem is with 
the range itself. I've seen some networks that run automatic probes from 
both ranges and compare the results, automatically sending emails to 
whois contacts concerning the problem.
