Warren forgot URIBL.com in his list - afaik, also has a limit of 300k
queries/day which, like the others is usually enough for the average site.

IF the BL query limits hit ISPs/service providers/huge corps they're freeriding
on (in most cases) donated resources and being cheap so nobody should be
surprised if their queries are blocked/filtered
