Incredible.  Unfortunately I cannot afford to keep up with the sheer mass of 
words as I have to work a full time job also.

I explain the non-random character of my list because random domain names 
appear once on my list and therefore did not appear in the top 11 most 
common.  Almost 2000 messages did not appear in the top 11 and I am not going 
to post those random domains here.

Your are incredibly hypocritical to be blocking those free domains that RMX 
could make usable again.  You've expended endless amounts of energy 
"defending" the very people you block.  Why do you block them when they are 
so innocent?
