Many thanks for spotting this! I haven't checked the whois entries myself 
yet, but I'm inclined to remove *all* his shops for intentionally deceiving 
us.

I should probably knock up a script one of these days which looks for 
similarities in the whois entries, similar server IP addresses etc...

Hmm, one would have to take a closer look but I guess these entries are OK 
- lots of vendors use osCommerce, which tends to create these kinds of 
URLs.
