And I'm not subscribed to either. Yet, I've no less than a /19 of space 
under my purview and I don't believe that publishing botnet lists in the 
manner that has been done is either off topic, or off charter. Some of us, 
as hosting providers or similiar entities, have network costs to keep to a 
minimum. For those of us with security concerns, a heads up to 
compromised hosts within our bailiwick will *always* be appreciated.

        That's why you make 24x7 contact info available to your peers.

If you're not going to be part of a productive solution, do us a favor and 
stop getting in the way of people actually trying to do something useful.

        The productive solution is for reporters of badness within your
        network to contact your NOC directly, rather than posting here
        in hopes that you're paying attention.
