Abusive blacklist

Terry, you are using an abusive "blacklist".  SORBS, like ORBS, has no 
qualms about lying about those they don't like.

In our case, they don't like the fact that I revealed their secret spam 
support operations. (They scan for open relays and then give that 
information to abusers.)

Anyway, one can easilly see that 130.105/16 is not hijacked, nor is
198.3.136/21 hijacked.  Neither registrant is out of business.  The false
claims of hijacking came from Alan Brown (of ORBS infamy) who was found in
court to be a liar, engaging in defamation and false statements against
ISPs he didn't like, for he personal financial benefit.  Alan Brown and
Matthew Sullivan are not authoritative for the registrations and have no
authority to make any kind of statement about their registration.

People who are genuinely interested in anti-spam should shun those who use
such tools for personal attacks. (The Judge in one of the ORBS cases noted
also that Brown was using false ORBS listings as a personal attack, not
based on any genuinely held belief.)
