This is a good point, however my point here is despite its strong 
similarity to these other DNSBL's that have high safety ratings, it 
seems UCEPROTECT isn't achieving a similar good safety rating.  When I 
looked into this a few weeks ago it seemed to be some constantcontant, 
but also common foreign ham.  I will be looking more in depth later this 
month.
