Re: Possibly OT, definately humor. rDNS is to policy set by federal law.

Nothing is wrong with what he posted.  The guy is a moron.  However, I 
was taking my 15 min of fame to jab at SORBS policy of listing people on 
their respective lists.  It's dysfunctional and broken, but that again 
is just my opinion.

Oh and, of course publicly humiliating the guy is certainly not that 
cool.  However, while it's not really above me to do the same, he could 
have removed the email address so spammers aren't adding to that guys 
list of problems.

Anyway, don't mind me.  I just wanted to add to the off-topic drivel Mat 
posted since I can't stand SORBS. :>
