NAK (known issue, JFTR).

s/iddb/iadb2/

s/wadb/iadb2/.  WA is "withdrawn accreditation" (= bulk mailer
decided to break the IADB rules), it's a kind of blacklist.
You could mention WA elsewhere. e.g. together with SpamHaus.

Better remove this, it's too dangerous for the kids, and it can
be misleading without JavaScript.  If you need more interesting
sources, you could add whois.sc (and maybe A9.com (?))

ACK, much better than 2.

NAK.  Nobody knows what "other people might consider".  Let
alone to agree with it blindly.  That clause makes no sense,
and it devaluates the important first part before the "but".

Anything else is fine, but a bit long.  "When in doubt don't
list" could be added to the <title> and / or <h1> header.
