right, thats why i said ccTLDs..  the odds are much better that 2 letter country
codes are more likely to hit random STRING.CC entries due to

1) less chars after period:  2 (cctlds) versus 3-7 (gtlds)
2) number of tlds available: 245 (cctlds) versus 15 (gtlds)

if someone misses a spacebar and the next sentance starts with a common two
letter word like 'TO', 'IT', 'DO', 'AT', 'SO', or 'US'.  

"Say hi to them.It will make their day!"

it would not only produce an unneeded DNS query, but it also could produce a FP 
hit.

# host -tTXT them.it.multi.uribl.com
them.it.multi.uribl.com descriptive text "Listed on [black] - See
http://lookup.uribl.com/?domain=them.it";

i'm not so much worried about FP's against the URIBL's..  i'm more worried about
unneeded DNS queries.  Imagine a site (like rulesemporium.com) that passes info
about rulesets around via email all day long.

anyhow.. i'm just bringing things up as i see them... so like i said, use
INVALID as necessary 

d ;)
