By blocking them at the firewall level, it will appear the spammers using
the compromised machines at FDC, inHoster, and Keymachine that my
site went down, since they will get the 404 Server Not Found. It will
appear on their end that my site went down, and they will NEVER
figure out what I did. I figure they will go away after a while. I have
SuperXXXPorn and BestInWeb stopped DEAD IN THEIR TRACKS.
I have them totally outsmarted, adn they will NEVER figure out what
happened.
