Results from SPAM

I actually reported some spam to a hosting service and Ebay, and the site was torn down in a matter of hours. Very cool.

This was the e-mail train.

This site has been removed from our hosting services for violations of our
TOS (Terms of Service). Additionally, all sites associated with the email
address used to sign up for hosting have been removed. Thank you for
bringing this to our attention.
