Thanks Randy, after my 39th b-day last week, that was just what I needed :) 

And yes, it might be optimistic to think we could turn the tide, however the
numbers speak for themselves. 

And if we (as a community) could look at ourselves and improve what we
advertize, it's a start. 

How many times did you check what you receive from certain peers and asked
them to update their filtering, just because they are not looking at what
they advertize ? 
I do this on a regular basis and often people send a reply back that they
forgot, blame a colleague or what not, but the 'moral' of the story is that
people have no clue and their routers just spit out whatever they like.
