What this means is that they haven't done anything.  The spam has not been
cancelled, and specific requests to do so have been ignored.  I seriously
doubt that they cancelled the account.  They may not have even contacted the
user.

I always figured that "appropriate action" meant that they were
going to start charging the spammer commercial rates :-(

To be fair, as spam sites go, Best is one of the more responsible.
Otherwise, I would have left long ago.
