Hi Jeff,

I grabbed the JP hits and started looking at them. Some of them are clearly spammers, some may be UC candidates and at least one is a FP (tripod.com.ar). I'll go through all of them as soon as I can:

Thanks much Joe!

A couple points:

1. We haven't whitelisted any of these yet.

2. We need to bias against listing. I don't dispute that some of these do send some spams. The question remains, as ever, whether any have legitimate (non-spam) uses. Those that do probably should not be listed.

3. It is possible that some true spammers got into DMOZ, but most probably aren't.

Cheers,
