re: tradeeasy. I have done the first few of these, but don't have time right now to do more. It doesn't look like abuse to me, though - but it is something which needs to be corrected. Most of these sites were listed several years ago, and it appears that the "hosting" company has reorganised significantly. Thank you very much for bringing it to our attention.

Apology and an Update

I apologize for not really knowing how you guys track stuff in here. I'm new to this thread. So, if I'm doing it wrong, please forgive me. Items 495-496 done and will work on 503 next. But I've run out of time and patience for now. If there are others later that I missed for the Sports branch in particular, even if they deal with other branches as well, and no one offers to deal with them, please either email or PM me and I'll do 'em when I can. :)

No problem. If having 35 DMOZ listings all redirecting to the same page is a hosting company issue, I need to change hosting companies ;)

Thank you for your attention to this matter. :)
