There is a HUGE world of difference between "technically no list" and
the "reality of what we need".

Frankly, I wouldn't care a wit if some of the blocked addresses are used
in the US. What matters is where *MY USERS* might be coming from. That
is a finite number and even for "world traveler physics professors", the
list isn't all that exhaustive.

cox-internet.com
verizon.net

(and these only because they are the 2 high speed internent providers in
our little town)

The rest all going to be predominately either US .edu sites, or US gov
research facilities (fermi lab, etc).

If I end up blocking some local isp in Caper, WY, that's probably a good
thing.

You always have freedom of choice, but you never have freedom of
consequence.
