But it *is* a good spam blocking list, and I don't force anyone to use it.  People are
always free to tweak it (as we suggest) for their own needs.

I've been giving alot of thought about breaking the list up into sections, and producing
them in a text-based format where downloads can be automated.  That way, people can pick
and choose what they want.  If they only want to block China and Korea, they'll be able to
do that.

I'm sorry we have the disagreement, but we'll just have to agree to disagree!
