ARGH! F-CKING FUITADNET!!!

My latest post on the Fuitadnet forums:
> moderator: I just want to know what did you do to get on so many spam lists in the first place?

1. I've been on the internet going back to the late 1980's, and was active on Usenet for all that time.

2. I included my email address in all my posts (remember, this was before spam existed).

3. My primary website has been up for almost nine years now. It has always included my email address.

4. Before that, I had ANOTHER website with my email address.

I can only guess that whenever spammers swap email address lists, my address is the first one on those lists. I can assure you that I've NEVER bought anything from a spammer. I've never even used a mail client which would allow spammers to know that their spam had even been read. And normally I have always deleted all spam unread, unless I am tricked by an ambiguous subject and Sent-by.

I don't know. I'd speculate that spammers are taking revenge for my Message to Spammers, but I only put that up a couple of years ago.

HEY! My account has been SUSPENDED again, and my site is DOWN!!

You guys are going to KILL my Google ranking.

GRRRR!!!!!!

Kill! Kill! KILL!!!

Who has the patience of a god? Why, I do!
I am still receiving spam at an undiminished rate. My wife is now no longer able to access her email (though my domain) at all. And my site is now completely dead:

This Account Has Been Suspended
Please contact the billing/support department as soon as possible.

You can imagine how I feel.

Has this ticket been escalated?

Apparently they moved it to a new server, and the new DNS may take a while to propagate to some ISPs.
