Here Here! I'm not defending them at all but they really should use something other then that kiddy farm newsgroup to communicate with. I really think that's half of their perception problem.

The short of it is that spews.org often lists a much bigger netblock than they need to, on the philosophy that users of their system prefer to not deal at all with an ISP that is receiving income by hosting a spammer. For similar reasons, even though it's a pretty darn big ISP through acquisitions, my ISP is listed in XBL and BLARS for a very small number of spammer infractions. I use OSSRC but give it a relatively low weight due to the likelihood of throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
