Has anyone here acknowledged why it is that SPEWS is like this?

MAPS was easy to reach, easy to find; they got sued into submission
time & again, by spammers with big money... SPEWS has yet to be
sued, AFAIK.

As as bonus, it's great fun to see a spamhaus show up and bleat
about how virginal they are, and they made one little mistake,
and it's fixed; can they PLEASE wear a white dress....?

And then the replies appear with records of spam after spam,
often still in progress, get posted in reply....
