It's not me who abused your system, it's your company which sent out
illegal, misleading emails to our customers. Since I couldn't find out
who stands behind your site I had to get a certificate. There was no
abuse, there was only use-and-get.

- No affiliation published, the fact that you are a reseller for Comodo
is nowhere noted.
- No subscriber agreement or notice presented to subscribers.
- No control validation of the domain name. Just pay-and-go.

I didn't had to do anything to overcome any validation whatsoever. There
was no abuse!

Yes, after I posted my article here at the mailing list.
