Well, we absolutely honor your request. But now it is clear for us, what drived you to think that we are the spammers. The string you quoted above starting with Warning is a PHP error message. PHP is actually the programming language (the techology the spammers use) to send their stuff out. Something is not working on their site, so an error message is printed, which links to our site to help developers find the solution for the problem. It is not intended to be seen by innocent users such as you. PHP is actually a tool to write programs, and it cannot be blamed for such spams, as if the spammer uses our product, it is very much like the fact that he is using a computer from some manufacturer. Would you sue the manufacturer for providing the spammer with the product? No. PHP is the same case. If someone uses a hammer to kill a man, then the creators of the hammer are not reponsible for it. We provide a tool, and for what it is used, is out of our control. I can assure you that we are not sending any spam, so we cannot remove off of any list, sorry. Goba
