Yes, there are more showing up. Apparently AOL is canceling 5-10 accounts
a day due to inappropriate usage. SysAdmin types are doing their best to 
keep up, CancelBots are hard at work detecting spams, but many get through.
You can help by politely forwarding complaints to postmaster@<originating-site>.com
regarding any post that may be a spam. 

I received e-mail this morning from earthlink that the account that originated
Save Tax Dollars had been pulled. One more down.
