Okay, never mind Spamhaus, you have a mind yourself?

This thread is not about Spamhaus or any specific DNSBL, it is about
the timing of auto de-listing, specialist DNSBL and general society (you
& me & all of us - even the assehole idiots (I am an asshole idiot
myself) as well as those with strong POV. like Prince Olaf)

- whether we agree or disagree with something or a pov - is not
  relevant 

but understanding of the different opinions, is actually of great value

Also, MOST DNSBL are reactive. I do agree that many DNSBL are pro
active - but there are just over 200 DNSBL (that I know of) and by far
the majority are reactive.

So, Simon, with that in mind, what do you think about my original
posting / thread, instead of getting stuck on where the various DNSBL
sources data from, can we maybe talk about the other questions?
