Hi,

I noticed when clicking on the entry for ns1.ny.us.opennic.glue:

https://servers.opennic.org/edit.php?srv=ns1.ny.us.dns.opennic.glue

it says the following:

"Including adblock by http://pgl.yoyo.org";

Shouldn't this qualify for a blacklist flag? This is worrying as adblockers
should be done on the client side as an incorrectly configured or outdated
adblocker list often break sites (including sites which might tell ns1.ny.us
users to disable a nonexistent adblocker).

Also, pgl.yoyo.org seems to have a very large blacklist of entire domains and
subdomains, including those specific to major Web sites like Bloomberg, The
Telegraph, Fox News, and others, and they all end in ^

See here for a plaintext version of the list:

http://pgl.yoyo.org/adservers/serverlist.php?hostformat=&showintro=1&startdate%5Bday%5D=&startdate%5Bmonth%5D=&startdate%5Byear%5D=&mimetype=plaintext

Shouldn't this qualify for a blacklist flag, or at least some kind of warning
that sites may fail to load properly or completely when using ns1.ny.us?
