They do not and you are wrong.

You can query them, but most of them do not share data, notably
spamcop, ascams, blockllist.de and even spamhaus.

For example, they make data available but they do NOT load each others
outputs.

I said "What could happen" 

what assumptions are you talking about? And why should I have to do
research when I am saying "what could happen" ?

Brent, you feel the need to interject and to call me 'unsavory' yet you
omit to include the bounce posted

And, technically, as this is not a guess or an accusation but an actual
fact, Greg's mail servers did re-write the email bounce.

No insinuation, no accusation, no suspicion, no "unsavory" behavior,
simple truth.

How do I know this?

Well, see, if you READ the thread, you will see that Greg posted his
actual bounce to the list.

I include it below so that you may consider apologizing for calling me
'unsavory'
