Ehm, I don't think I want to enter into the 'issues' in Mr Anderson's  
post, but I do like his "I hate John Levine" web page, I think all of  
those who become graced with their own "I hate you" ranting web page  
have verifiably achieved greatness (well done John ;)

This bit though I can elaborate on:

Actually that is user numbers we have signed contracts for (i.e:  
contractually-declared numbers of end users of the Spamhaus Datafeed  
service), the actual figure being 1,425,440,000 users currently. I  
would  say that is a level of usage that strongly suggests  
"overwhelming community consensus for this mechanism".
