Yes they do -- we had one , customer flinders.edu.au, on
Karl's list and our logs show significantly more activity
for that client than other sites that were not protected but
not on Karl's list.

Personally, though, I'm growing less and less fond of Karl's
list.  The procedures on his web page don't work for people
outside the US (Karl's NOC is not 24hr) and direct e-mail
doesn't seem to work either.

It's annoying to have fixed a problem promptly but still be
getting bad press about it.

Cheers,
glen
