The NYC transit authority disagrees with the notion that all .info sites are BS or spam.

Actually, blocking *.info isn't a horrible idea. Let's be honest. If you're serious at all about the web you get a .com domain name. You might settle for .net. If you're a non-profit you might take .org.

Everything else is proven to be b.s.

Seriously, 67 .info domains mean all .info domains should be blocked? Luckily the administrators and registrars are not as knee-jerk as you lot.

Aargh. And if I deleted ALL my e-mail, I'd have 0 false negatives and less than 1% false positives--better than any spam filter advertised.

Trackbacks are such ugly-looking babies that I'd turn a blind eye to their watery defenestration. :)

From that list, it would appear that you could solve 99% of your problems by a single rule:

BLOCK *.info

Anyone legitimate blocked by that would be within the experimental margin of error ;)

Don't you fear that by listing all their domains, you are making the spammers a service? (and maybe increasing their search ranks or whaterver)

As somebody once said, speak of it in good, speak of it in bad, it does not matter as long as you speak of it.

The load speed of the blogs have improved noticably for me during the past week.

I, for one, welcome our spam crackdown overlords.

The only reason this kind of garbage goes on is because of the scumbag registrars. They should share a shallow grave with all the spammers of the world.

I think it's rather easy to say that the .info TLD was a mistake.
