 The section "What should I expect if I run an exit relay?" is great and
 helped me decide to run an exit.  But, after about 6 months of operation,
 my ISP blocked my internet access, twice, because my IP ended up in
 shadownserver.org's reports on two different occasions.

 I think it would be really helpful if you added this to the list of things
 that can go wrong if you run an exit relay.  In addition, it would be very
 interesting if you could include some statistics on how much Tor traffic
 is associated with malware or how many viruses are designed to use Tor.

 From talking to folks on the tor-relays list, I learned that security
 researchers are actually using Tor to test their honeypots, too.  So, it's
 not just abuses of Tor that could put your IP address on a virus report,
 but legitimate uses could result in the same thing.
