After another 8 scans over the week-end (why won't he give up?) I finally 
got a e-mail from prodigy saying that they were going to terminate the 
account.

I guess that sending the guy at progidy an email after each and every 
'scan' meant that he got so fed up with me reporting this that it spurred 
him into action.
