I have been using the blacklists for about three months now. While it's easier for me to figure out the local ISP's that will be used by our constituents and put them on white lists, I can see where Martin and others are coming from.
For a while I was using the FIVETEN Blackhole list combined. Then I discovered they were blocking ALL of Yahoo. I mean wow! Seemed a bit extreme to me. I did stop using that list for obvious reasons. It does seem a little risky to rely on other people's "judgment" for the lists, although until there is an organization that will take over these types of lists that is more reliable and has a set way to get on and off a list, it's pretty much the only thing we have.
