This seems like the reaction of a brat, who when beaten, replies, "and
I'm taking my ball with me!" Wouldn't it have been nicer to return a
non-match for every query instead of making thousands of users change
their configuration files? Sheesh. I think most of these blacklists
are run by children who have no other social skills.
