Yes, but .... you should keep the block-information, so a user can see
why he's blocked.

If you are interested, I've a small script here (somehwhere) that
normalizes such lists to one single netmask, so an entry can be found
with a single-lookup, and you don't have to maintain a list of possible
net*- lookups.

btw, wouldn't be

grep -v '#' spews_list_level2.txt | cut -d" " -f1 >>spews_list2

easier ;)
