Michelle,
Yes, technically, "blocked that did not match the policy they publish"
is a more accurate, scientific, dictionary-ish definition of a FP. But I
think the real world is both more complicated and more nuanced.. and
"what the people want" should ALSO be factored in, too--or, at least...
AFTER statistical human errors... and occasional rare human crazies...
and "artificial turf" manipulation by spammers or marketers... are
(hopefully!) factored out.
AND I understand your point about some blacklists being more helpful or
more harmful to DIFFERENT consumers of that blacklist. (especially,
geography can be a huge factor)
But, otherwise, I'm having a hard time working up the motivation to
spend any more time trying change your mind about those things I said
with which you disagreed--because the world would be a worse place if
SORBS tried to be an invaluement clone, AND a worse place if invaluement
tried to be a SORBS clone.
