I don't see how dumping lists with arbitrary FPs onto UC helps either UC or SURBLs. In fact it's one of the bad things we predicted: that a grey list would become a dumping ground with some FPs and some domains that belong on a blocklist, all sitting there underclassified, unchecked or ignored.
It's better to do things openly and let people check new data sources together.
Hi Jeff,
If you'd like to publicly accuse the UC effort of doing "bad things" or listing "arbitrary FPs", please educate yourself on the policies of UC. They are publicly listed at http://uc.sasknow.com/criteria.shtml, and they're being actively developed through discussion on the UC mailing list, which is an open list to which anyone can subscribe and participate. In particular, one will note that all domains are hand checked before being added, and that domains suitable for blocklists like SURBL do not belong in UC.
I'm sure people value your opinions. So, please refrain from making baseless statements about a public effort it seems you know very little about.
Understood?
