We are listing a large number of ranges that SORBS does not. There
are numerous operational differences that make both lists useful.

ALL DHCP lists include some static, generic hosts. Most of the white
listing that we handle is also listed by SORBS, some by NJABL. The
fact that we choose to discuss the matter is part of the quality
management process.

It is fully documented on our site. We prefer to provide EXTREMELY
expeditious handling (usually within a hour). Furthermore, we choose
to have a meaningful dialog to help them get unlisted. 

What is automated is that every removal request generates the
necessary data (from dig to whois) to evaluate the issue.

Frankly, we have made enormous progress is a relatively short period
of time.

Nonsense. The endeavor is well documented and proactively managed. Do
you have anything constructive to add?
