    Daniel,

    Added to the Twitlist. I also have Peerblock installed to block
    various countries.

    Would it be considered wise to add all tor exit nodes to these lists?

    It can't hurt. If they appear to be a threat to your system, then
    by all means, block them.

    Daniel,

    Back in the day, I know some boards fell victims to these activities.
    One bbs I co-sysop'd on got the michelangelo virus. Not only did it
    effect all the files in his hand picked file section, but it also
    effected all his files as well as on the floppy. I believe it even
    wrote itself to the drive's mbr.

    I've always "practiced safe HEX", and rarely got uploads. Not
    requiring them helped, too...although I did most of the uploads.
