On a side note, to anyone watching this seemingly incredible long discusion about one FP:
This is typically what URIBL member do. We take every FP and delist request seriously. We do deep research on each one. Much deeper then anything you have seen here in this thread. Its not the first time someone has told us about an FP that has turned out to be false. Won't be the last.
We've had spammers request delistings, which of course sets our magic elves into a firey rage or research. This only backfires on the spammers, and not only doesn't get his spam domain delisted, but gets a lot more of them found in research listed.
A lot of people on other spam lists have said how "Soul Grinding" running an RBL is. Well we can now attest to that fact. Threads like this happen in private very often. Lots of work. One can often do hours of research to add 100+ domains, only to find another member has already done it! Bastards! :)
All of this would not be possible without some very incredible people. I can't thank the members of URIBL enough. The people who support us with mirrors. The anonymous non-members who email us privately with lots of helpful info. Hosts for the bandwidth. Jeff Chan and W.Stearns, for that very first conference call. The SA devs for putting up with us,....ok, me. And of course.....the magic elves. Thanks to all.
(Might as well add, all of the above also goes for the incredible work of the SARE team!)

(Double holy crap! I said something nice about Jeff again! He won't believe it!)
