ORBS does not "hack the Internet". ORBS does not block anyone. Only ISPs
block email. If an ISP blocks your email, your complaint is with them.

The news media covers what it thinks is news. If ORBS is not covered, it is
because those in the media do not consider it worthy of coverage. No entity
is obligated to publicize "their intent and purpose widely", but ORBS'
website covers the issue rather thoroughly for those who might be
interested.

RBLs are not viruses and they will probably not cause the end of
civilization as we know it.
Find other windmills.
