..the Africans should make the Nigerians ban this idiocy, it hurts
everybodys business, I mean filtering on "business" and all African
country names, as most people end up doing, will deny _all_ African

from netfilter-admin@lists.netfilter.org.  Next step would be 
GPG signatures and autoforward anything that fails, to the Law.
