SORBS Contact

I think we can sufficiently indict SORBS by saying that they are a poorly 
managed email blacklist which isn't used by anyone with a clue, without putting 
on our tinfoil hats. http://www.iadl.org makes some interesting claims, but 
anyone who puts Paul Vixie in the same list of offenders with Alan Brown and 
Matt Sullivan is clueless at best. SORBS, SPEWS, etc. are a problem, but they 
aren't a criminal conspiracy, and claiming that they are isn't going to win any 
points among people who haven't followed the instructions at
