Jeff, I think you somewhat misinterpreted what I said. But I understand how I one might mistakenly get the impression that I was saying that discussions on the SA list led to SURBL so I understand your need to clear that potential misunderstanding up... but, to be clear, I stated:
"things **like** SURBL" (emphasis added... and that word "like" dramatically changes the meaning of that sentence) But, in all fairness, in a search of the SA list archives, I spotted literally hundreds of SA list posts with "SURBL" in the subject line. I seem to recall much wisdom, some really good questions, and a few "heads ups" in some of those threads... stuff which I believe helped SURBL... and I think SURBL would have suffered had someone, early on, said, "keep this off the SA list since it is off-topic"... which further backs up my original point.

In the interests of preserving some history, SURBLs were not created as a result of discussions here. We created SURBLs concurrently with Eric Kolve writing his SA plugin SpamCopURI to use them. Then we persuaded the SpamAssassin developers to look into supporting SURBLs directly, which they apparently did by modifying the uridnsbl command into urirhsbl.
