Starting 'somewhere' with a bit more in the way of credible openers would help
your cause.

It would inspire more confidence, for example, if you had said that you were
*already* blocking <whatever> and would open individual paths as folks applied
to join the experiment.

Few folk here are likely to want to damage you - I am getting too old to take on
the job of town drunk, and few others have time to waste.

But that still leaves unanswered the bigger issue recently mentioned:

if/as/WHEN someone gets it wrong and sends you a ton of IP that are
bass-ackwards - where then is your vetting or error-checking mechanism?

Methodology aside, do you even have the time and inclination to *attempt*
vetting entries? Or pruning/updating them?

RBL maintenance is not for dilletantes. Check the history.
