Hint: The Internet has a LONG memory.

The liberal and numerous dropping of "for free" makes me laugh. "You" knew the tainted nature of what you were buying. Nobody, to this day, places much trust at all in SORBS. I dare say there isn't anyone on NANOG (certainly any "long hairs") that haven't had at least one interaction with SORBS, most likely due to spamtraps; that number drops to almost zero when you put the word "good" in that sentence. Maybe it's better now under new management; we (the royal we) moved on long ago.
