#2280 : These listings are both deep links from the same site, but each is about a different breed. So it's not a duplication. Deep links are permitted at the editor's discretion. Presumably the editor felt that these were both useful additions to somewhat thinly-populated categories.

#2281 - Those two listings seem OK, but I have removed another one which seemed less appropriate.

I THINK that CAUCE.org gave up the ghost. It was dead for several months, came back in January and no longer resolves (except to a page indicating "unable to select database"). I subscribe to the RSS feed which crapped out about ten days ago.

Years ago, this was the anti-balcklist site of the DHS Club (a significant spewer of UCE). They gave up spamming a couple of years ago and the site's content is no longer associated, in any way, with anything to do with spam. The current contents are limited to:

"Freedom's Army Mission: To promote the principles of Freedom and Democracy that are embraced within the US Constitution."

"The Liberation Of Iraq"

"The Sentencing Of The Shoe Bomber"

"The Real Reason We Have A Thanksgiving Holiday"

re 2287

Looks like there is a problem on the CAUCE server. Their national affiliates seem to still be operational.

At the risk of depicting my anal tendencies, there is a minor copyright violation. They are using Redhat, Inc.'s favicon.ico and logo which displays in the browser's address bar.

Beyond that, the site is a collection of six links to external content. There is NO unique or original content on this site and the following links (67% of the content), from the site, are broken:

CAUCE is using Drupal CMS, a PHP suite that interfaces with MySQL. Apparently, this is a MySQL problem.

I fully support CAUCE. AFAIK, this has been malfunctioning for more than a week. At what point does a continuing server malfunction become a reason for removal?
