Earthlink owns mindspring too.  I believe freebsd.org blocks
*.rr.com as well. (from personal experience)
Blocking entire ISP's doesnt seem to be the best solution
for freebsd.org.  For personal usage, you can of course
block any DN/IP you wish, but, in order to reach more
users, I think blocking major U.S. ISP's is not the best solution.
