Hi Norm,

China, Korea and Japan were the only one's I had real trouble with
because they are real tight with Info when you Trace them so finding the
Host of the Host is difficult.

And Japan was the worst and had to go to Upstream Providers that took a
long time to have pulled.

Persistence pays off.

In many cases I was surprised to find a Host like UU.net or other well
known Host is the Host of the Host of the Host and still got Action.

Just keep going up the Food Chain, I had 98 % of the Spam Sites pulled
that way.
