On your site you say your server functions to:
"resolve names for Rocknyou.com, log scans
and evil-do-ers attempting to breakin, and sometimes for fun I run
nmap <http://www.insecure.org/nmap/index.html> back at those bad nodes."
(http://www.rocknyou.com/aboutme.html)
So since tonight is Halloween (GMT -6), would you prefer to be "Pot" or
"Kettle?" :)
There are perfectly valid reasons to get scanned, especially by a well
known white-hat tool like Nessus. Script-kiddies and spammers have much
more robust/directed tools than a general purpose (slow) tool like Nessus.
And from the link you sent about Midco, it looks like they did a fine
job responding to your request; probably better than most *SP's would do.
