I had to look just to see if any addresses were there that are involved
in a bit of backscatter we are having.  I figured there would be, since
it's pretty widespread, and sure enuf.. one of them is there (at the
"unique addresses that have appeared more than once" page).  I won't
say which one, out of respect for the archive, but it's a very blockable
pattern, and I see some others with the same pattern in that list.
