      No kidding, both Brian Bruns and Andrew (trelane on IRC) are script kiddies furiously trying to display a white hat.

      If in doubt, search google. This "SOSDG" is hosted on someones cable modem, yet claims to run DNSBL's used by "Hundreds of government sites including .mil and .gov"

      In conclusion, I have my own IRC logs:

      [28/1814] [trelane(trelane@adsl-68-78-10-171.dsl.ipltin.amer itech.net)] you're a fat ugly spunkmonkey for packeting an RBL
