The blacklist providers provide a service to their clients amongst whom ypu're 
not.

the people they're most inclined to listen to are those who pay them to 
provide the service. Next would be non-paying customers.

Someone they've never heard of claiming to be unjustly blocked they're quite 
likely to ignore.

The lists _I_ use (but not all) allow someone to requuest a particilar IP 
address be tested, and I've used this facility. It's very reassuring to be 
diagnosed healthy:-)

But passing that test says nothing about my integrity.
