... And this article was just as quickly shown to be missing some key
ideas and concerns, and not in-line with much anti-spam public opinion.

It's content feels like a talk-show, shallow logic, a few barely discussed
hot-spots, etc.

The only real problem an RBL could ever have is in it's human management,
listing/delisting processes specifically.  That isn't a problem inherent
to RBLs... that'd be a problem for anything, anti-spam services or not.
