         echo "Blocking host : $REPLY"
         grep -q "$REPLY" /etc/hosts || echo "127.0.0.1 $REPLY" >> /etc/hosts
     done

From an old backup, I think it's this one in particular to block updates, but it was a long time ago....

127.0.0.1 firs-ta-g7g.amazon.com

Thanks. Was it just one that needed to be blocked? & does anyone know if the reason 5.12+ sneaks updates is because they changed that?
