Let me rephrase: I know several businesses and a great many people who
block *parts* of UUNet by the SBL and *larger* parts of it by means of 
SPEWS, blackholes.us, et al.

Regardless, the SBL does block *some* UUNet space, much of 
which(according to responses here) no longer belongs to the spammers.

Sorry for any confusion my poor choice of words may have caused.
