Yup, but Al recons that his choice to test against dnsbl.sorbs.net and
not safe.dnsbl.sorbs.net or dul.dnsbl.sorbs.net (which are the most
requested zones for transfer) is based on that page giving the example
as dnsbl.sorbs.net.  For that reason I figured that I'd make
dnsbl.radparker.com the example, because then he could see whether
anyone would actually use the example rather than selecting zones from
the list as they are instructed.

It should be noted that SORBS does not recommend or not recommend any
particular zone or combination to use.  The exception is the
recommendation to use the dnsbl.sorbs.net zone to save on queries when
you would otherwise query against multiple zones.  To this ends most
software manufacturers that have included SORBS have included
dnsbl.sorbs.net as the default with the ability to select/deselect any
or multiple subzones/return codes.

It was noted earlier here (or elsewhere?) that Al suggested that he
would change his formula when I changed those pages to indicate another
'default' ... I have done that so time will tell whether he keeps his
word or whether he is/was full of it.
