I detailed where I got the numbers in the original story:

http://news.cnet.com/8301-30685_3-20018437-264.html

But to reiterate, the 0.05% figure I got from Adam Langley's blog
post, with the relevant quotation in the story and quoted in my
earlier e-mail. The Web site total I got from NetCraft's September
survey (http://news.netcraft.com/archives/category/web-server-survey/).
The multiplication I did all by myself.

I've now located the blacklist file, which at present has 661 sites
blacklisted, so I suspect you guys are right on that basis, too. My
guess is that Langley's blog post was unclear, at least to the
non-expert reader (me). Blacklist site:

Thanks for that explanation--that helps.
