In their defense I was pleasantly surprised that I got a response back from
them telling me the account was banned. Though it makes me wonder if this
is just them trying to save face. I have spoken with the guys that run DO's

spammers, attackers etc. It makes you wonder why for years that are known
in the spammer community as a safe heaven.
