Yeah I know, but you misunderstood me:

I use SpyBot and I let it add to my hosts file.  It's a little 
less than 10,000 lines.

What you mentioned at http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.txt 
has over 16,000 lines, and I didn't see any mention of SpyBot's 
entries in it.

I want to incorporate BOTH, so I will have SpyBot's modified 
hosts file, and the one at the above URL.

You can't have two hosts files.  So how do I combine them both? 
What happens if you have duplicate entries in the hosts file?

Spybot's "Immunize" feature seems to update the HOSTS file.
