As soon as "we" (and this is certainly the "Royal We" because I have no
desire to even attempt this) have some authority to do that, you let me
know. The RBL is Paul's. It belongs to him. You and I have no more right to
assume its functionality than I have to come over to your house and assume
responsibility for your car for an hour to go for a ride.

Its not indefensible. From whence spam comes, black holes in the net
appear. It's Vixie's Law, and its in some physics texts already I think. :)

Only if they go rogue can it effect their operations. :)

Probably because most ISP's don't see them as mistakes.
Regardless, this has a list that has been created for this sole purpose.
Address your complaints there (and myself and many others will happy debate
the issue with you there)
