Why, are you wanting to create some?  8-)

I think such reports should be treated as they are: third party statistics
that (depending on the sources, as I don't know what they are) indicate what
those third parties think is happening with your network's hosts.

These reports are not a new blacklist.  The original poster is only offering
these to the admin of any given network -- not another third party.
Certainly, I'd *love* to see a neatly cross referenced list for a few
unnamed cesspools who refuse to police their networks, in order to ostracize
them for it in public, but that's not the purpose of these reports....
