I said that there is not massive collateral damage using selected Osirusoft 
tests (as opposed to using all of them).  You are saying that there is a 
lot of collateral damage using the Osirusoft tests (IE "all Toyota cars") 
because of the spews.relays.osirusoft.com (IE "Toyota Tercel") has a lot of 
collateral damage.

Just because one of the Osirusoft tests has high collateral damage doesn't 
mean that the others do, in the same way that if one of the cars made by 
Toyota isn't comfortable, that doesn't mean that the others aren't 
comfortable either.

Lots of people just don't realize that there are 7 different Osirusoft 
tests, and generalize and say "Osirusoft tests have high collateral 
damage", when in fact many do not.

That where you are wrong (the same misconception that the "lots of people" 
I referred to above have).  The relays.osirusoft.com zone has 7 different 
tests in it (see http://www.declude.com/support/ip4r.htm ).  If you only 
use the 6 that don't have much collateral damage, you won't get the 
collateral damage from the 7th.
