Infinite Monkeys and other BLs

[Remco Barendse]

You mean that you actually blame IM because you were not
keeping your own systems up to date?.

Who are you going to blame when your server room is struck by fire and you
did not make any backups?

If you didn't like the offered DNSBL services, did not trust them or
thought that they do not offer 'value for money' you should not have
been using them in the first place.

Don't blame others for your own mistakes, if anyone should be sued
for not doing their job it should not be IM

Just my 0.02$
