[wp-hackers] WP Blacklist Clean

[Mark Shields]

I used a free command line program called cmsort
(http://www.chmaas.handshake.de/delphi/freeware/cmsort/cmsort.htm). 
Was very easy to use, but I do like the idea of a PHP script that has
the possibility to be integrated into WP and automatically sort and
remove duplicates.
