Looks like Google already listened. :-) I wasn't quite sure whether to
be angry or laugh when I saw that protest link. Totally ridiculous.
Let's hope the link disappears off Wikipedia soon too. The protesters
need as little attention paid to them as possible. Substantial
monetary damages indeed. :-P And I thought all the negative press
Wikipedia's received lately was a joke!

Getting their ISP to drop them might be harder though. In my
experience, ISP's only care that their customers are paying their
bills, not what kind of crap they host (unfortunately).

Oh, and John, if you're the John Levin related to Michigan politics,
consider this my formal request that you help shut those scammers
down. :-)
