"Third and finally, if you are really not a spammer, or you are truly reformed, de-listing is relatively easy. You donate US$50 to a 
charity or trust approved by, and not connected with, SORBS for each spam received relating to the listing (This is known and refered to as 
the SORBS 'fine'). "

That doesn't make a lot of sense. It's an interesting answer to the BotNet spamming problem, but not really a solution, IMHO.

It's just cynicism at it's best. I like people who can be smartasses without being asses, but this is ridiculous if they want to be a serious service, and cute if they are looking to make jokes.
