I believe you, but I don't believe that the set of ntp.org servers changes so rapidly that it is beyond the ability of network operators to handle the ones on their own networks as a special case.
The list is large enough, and changes often enough, that filtering on it isn't likely to be successful. Also, the list of what are "your" servers can change without warning. Doug
