You're welcome, that's one of the best Spyware block IP lists you will ever see.

Help educate a newbie. Sponge looks like a list of "bad" IP addresses you
can use with your firewall. The HOSTS file I see around here looks like a
similar list, but it's used to misdirect software to a null or false IP
address.

So which is "better"? Or what are the pros and cons of either method?

I do not know which is "better" but I find HOSTS file much easier to manage.

Tools that I use to manage it.
HOSTESS
http://accs-net.com/hostess/
Has Add, Edit, Delete, Search, Group, Import/Export and create Registry
Restricted Zone entries.
Automatically removes duplicates.
Note: The program author has commited to provide a function to validate
HOSTS entries.

HOSTS forum
http://asp.flaaten.dk/proxo/forum.asp?FORUM_ID=20
Has over 17,000 ad sites and was updated June 1st.

The only con that I can think of is that site addresses can not be a range
ie: 127.0.0.1 *.doubleclick.com will not work.
