Various persons put forth some amount of effort to, graciously, give other operators a heads up to the ongoing/potential abuse of their networks, and you're concerned about topical relevance? Why aren't you, in the least, THANKING them for their efforts? Maybe it's because these thousands of drones are being used to pump out spam across the internet,
This is old news, Bill. If anyone wants to sit around and pump out botnet lists to NANOG, fine by me. I never said I can stop them. I just said I didn't want them as a subscriber. I understand that you don't know where these existing lists are. Look hard. If you suddenly care about bots enough in the last 24 hours to spend all night writing a post about me, you should be able to expend the same energy and find a botnet list to enjoy. Gadi probably has already invited you to his list in the last 8 hours. He's good like that.
which may require (at some point) some form of domain registration at the end site pushing whatever product, which at later trickles into Verisign's coffers?
