As Bill rightly mentioned, using any BL service requires trust, understanding, and acceptance of its workings and policies, since mine is central to particular ISPs, although used by many now, it still has listing policies that would never make the grade in SA, for me I prefer the stricter policies, less spammers, less jackasses. So I don't think asking them where their data comes from is reasonable, but it is reasonable to know their history, eg: ours lists for smtp came about like in '02/'03 (URI lists was couple years after that) in house for an ISP, and we kept it up since, it was only after we both changed employers few years back, we got its own public domain, so perhaps these guys will offer up a similar history, who knows. However, I echo Axb's and Bills comments, coming in here 2 weeks after regoing the domain and saying "hey come use us" - is a lot more than a "bit" sus to me.
