You managed to get off those lists? Wow. I've never been on one, but there was a thread on the php list once and it looked like once you are on, you don't get back off. Actually, if it's a pain in the ass but possible, then I'm all for every zombie getting blacklisted. Let all the AOL don't-update-windows click-on-everything idiots be banned from emailing me. Let them then work hard to get off the blacklist so they understand that like driving a car, using a computer entails responsibility.
