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,

Jeff C.
