FWIW, all the blacklists I use (and 510sg is only the first line of
defense ;-)) have documentation available about the reasons for listing
IP blocks. F'r instance, looking up Thomas' IP I get:

xo.com.spam-support.blackholes.five-ten-sg.com. 23h32m50s IN TXT "added 2002-01-05; spam support - dns server at 64.1.121.57 supporting http://www.poxteam2001.com"

But this is getting pretty far off-topic for the PG lists.
