The benefits of a HOSTS file far outweigh the PITA, IMO.

Yea, I know. Just saying it's a bit unfortunate that I have to in the first
place. I used to use the HPGuru hosts file but I found a number of times he
would block sites that didn't warrant being blocked so now use MVPS as it
is less aggressive.

Can't really "speak" to that, drop the webmaster a line.
Contact info is at the bottom of the HOSTS URL.

AFAIK, "hpGuru" has retired or whatever another organization has taken
over his Forum and file. As stated is not as many words in above URL.
