We also need to be reminded from time to time something that HRH Prince Olaf said, which is very true: "as the internet is a hostile place" For example: On this mailing list: Tolerance The ratio between tolerance vs the choice to take offense is the same ratio we can apply to interoperability vs abuse At which point is abuse so bad. How much abuse, how long is a piece of string? These things are not always decided by clients or money but by normal people. And I always assume that people are like me (as we all do and as we all love to project our frame of reference unto others - so things makes more sense to ourselves) I know that I have many flaws, I make a lot of mistakes, even though I try real hard to make as few as possible, there is always an error that slips in here or there. I am not perfect but I am not evil. Yes, I am a wolf. Yes, I am an obnoxious thick skinned abuse admin, yes, I eat sheep. - but i am not BOFH and I love people, life and always try to see the good in everyone. Does that make me an idiot? probably. but it is what it is. (and yes, my fingers know no filters - i say what i feel and think without re-writing or thinking about it for even 5 minutes - this means that much of what i say is raw and sometimes very wrong (and sometimes very right) - but it is always honest and from the heart. So, back to RBL & DNSBL There are some controversial questions to be asked, seriously asked: On auto de-list only - Should the list times be increased or decreased (when taking into consideration new tech) And, to be clear, I am wishing to talk about this as it relates to open and well maintained ranges, ignoring fake 102's and master drop lists. Well maintained ranges where xyz vps exists and startups come and go Andre
