some weeks ago i asked daniel why he blocked tor traffic.  he sited SSH brute force, smtp and other abuse issues.  he's a sysadmin so i can understand the need to protect his networks.

thanks for brining in a higher resolution view here. 

hope your approach works or at least opens the door to communication with him.
he maintains a tor  list updated every 30 minutes so maybe addressing his specific concerns can help ?  i'd hate to see others blindly block from his lists.

he was polite and answered some basic networking questions about netBSD for me and that was about it.  he didn't answer me immediately either.  so straight to /dev/null ... not in my case at least.

he also doens't like anonymous proxies generally by the notice his site gives when attempting  to connect with tor if i've read it correctly.
