It goes on to basically say in polite language that "If you use these
addresses in the real world(tm), and do not filter them at your border
router, you deserve whatever you get".

He with the finger in every pie, Bill Manning, has been running
nameservers for that zone since 1997, however it seems that in the last
month or so, it was added to the root name servers.  I suspect that an
amusing report will be forthcoming detailing the number of requests for
nameservice from blackhole.isi.edu .
