This is rich coming from someone who blacklists whole domains purely 
because
they don't fit into their world view:
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-userlevel/2010/09/22/msg003973.html

Maybe you annoyed them as much as myself and just injected you and all 
you
embody into their generic spam reject pool.

At least I can take some small satisfaction in that you just gave up.
Maybe one day you'll give up blacklisting my valid for years email 
address
(well, to the rest of the world anyway), but I suspect we'll run out of
IPv6 addresses before that happens.

Thanks
