Suggestion

If a loaded IP filter has a "reason", append to the end of the current reason ("Reason: IP filter.")

Use case

Understand what is going on behind the scenes and the reasoning behind it.
Seeing a large list of blocked IPs is good and all, but at times I want to know why they were there in the first place.

Extra info/examples/attachments

First few lines from emule's list

000.000.000.000 - 000.255.255.255 , 000 , Bogon
001.002.004.000 - 001.002.004.255 , 000 , China Internet Information Center (CNNIC)
001.002.008.000 - 001.002.008.255 , 000 , China Internet Information Center (CNNIC)
001.009.096.105 - 001.009.096.105 , 000 , Botnet on Telekom Malaysia
001.009.102.251 - 001.009.102.251 , 000 , Botnet on Telekom Malaysia
001.009.106.186 - 001.009.106.186 , 000 , Botnet on Telekom Malaysia

In theory, if I were to get a 1.2.4.5 IP that is blocked I would want to see in the logs 1.2.4.5 was blocked. Reason: IP filter - 'China Internet Information Center (CNNIC)'
