It wasn't a good deed.
While I am certain more spam was blocked than "ham" (good e-mail),
that is true no matter what you block - blocking all US mail servers
would have the same effect, for instance. If your only criteria is
to stop spam, just shut your mail servers.
The point was they blocked EVERYTHING that was not in the US.
Perhaps that would work for someone who honestly believes the US is
the whole world (GWB maybe? :), but the rest of us have friends and
business associates who live outside the US.
