		<description>Like, I found this. On Google.

http://richardcatto.wordpress.com/about/

And importantly, it&#039;s published in their cache, at http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?sclient=psy-ab&amp;hl=en&amp;client=firefox-a&amp;hs=wQb&amp;rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-GB%3Aofficial&amp;biw=1440&amp;bih=694&amp;source=hp&amp;q=cache%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Frichardcatto.wordpress.com%2Fabout%2F&amp;pbx=1&amp;oq=cache%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Frichardcatto.wordpress.com%2Fabout%2F&amp;aq=f&amp;aqi=&amp;aql=&amp;gs_sm=s&amp;gs_upl=291802l295535l0l297670l7l5l0l0l0l0l0l0ll2l0

Now this is obviously some malicious person doing their utmost to damage your livelihood. They may even have succeeded, without you being any the wiser. And who&#039;s fault is it that anyone sees this?

Pfft. Really offensive. Why do you put up with it?</description>

		<description>And I could probably tell you how to go about it. Google are not the wonderful people that everyone seems to think, in my opinion. Try hanging out on their help forum for a few years &amp; you might agree.

For a start, it seems very likely to me that they make more money out of advertising porn than anything else. Over $43,000 per day for appearing at the top of adwords for the keyword &quot;porn&quot;, just in the US. One keyword, in one position, in one country, for one day. This from a company built on the slogan &quot;Don&#039;t Be Evil&quot;. hohohohoho</description>

		<description>Hey chill, Spam Hater. It&#039;s really not that serious. Certainly not as serious as people wasting loads of trees to put junk in your snail-mail box.

C&#039;mon, Richard, do everyone a favour &amp; go lay a charge against Google.</description>

		<description>I would not automatically believe stuff written about people anyway.

If the person is running his business in a legitimate way, I&#039;m all calm.

Spammers on the other hand rank just above pedophiles.

@Richard, if you don&#039;t get many spma complaints, you can track the people that had an issue with you.

Obviously if you have hundreds of complaints,and really do own the multiple sites that are associated with spam, then the shoe must fit.

All I know is that if I meet a known spammer, I would seriously consider assault.</description>

		<description>@ Richard: &quot;Yes, I use swear words. Sue me.&quot;

You wouldn&#039;t believe it if I told you, but my daughter of 6 is unable to conceptualise thoughts more juvenile than you.

		<description>I&#039;m sure someone has listed me on hellopeter already. It doesn&#039;t really matter. The people who do business with me do so because I treat them well and offer them something that benefits them.</description>

		<description>Geoff, you may enjoy the scourge of spam. I do not.  Just like I don&#039;t like religion pushed down my throat, I don&#039;t want unsolicited bulk mail from spammers who waste my time and money having to download and delete their mails.

(I have had no personal dealings with Richard before this, apart from unsubscribing from one list, only to appear on another... If he was so ethical, he wouldn&#039;t register dozens of domain names from where to spew forth his vomitous spam - he&#039;s listed on the ISPA Hall of Shame for a reason).

If I want spam, I&#039;ll sign up for it.  But don&#039;t make my choices for me and send me rubbish that I have no need for or desire to read.

I am trying to point out (hence my own unclam vitroil) that not only is Richard a spammer, he&#039;s a completely shadowy character without morals.  A woman-basher and if loads of other websites are to be believed, a racism who hates Afrikaners and wants to kill them all.

I&#039;m the one that is irritated.  He&#039;s the psychotic one that needs medication, care and a strait jacket.</description>

		<description>Spam-Hater could pretend to be one of Richard Catto&#039;s customers, and send in an anonymous complaint about him. They wouldn&#039;t bother to check, and his name would be all over Google.

The only thing is, Spam-Hater would probably receive lots of spam. So I dunno if he&#039;d want to do that.</description>

		<description>Yes, from someone who didn&#039;t feel like paying me, and posted an anonymous comment. Hellopeter thought they could hit me for money. Didn&#039;t work, the comment was removed. hohohoho</description>
