statcounter.com is listed on WS.
It's a service used for hit tracking, primarily for web stats. It also shows up in emails, sometimes in spam from main-sleaze spammers.
Having it listed means quite a lot of collateral damage though. Just do a search for statcounter.com on Google Groups and check the recent ratio of legit postings vs. NANAS reports actually involving potential abuse from statcounter.com: http://groups.google.com/groups?q=statcounter.com&scoring=d

I know the guy who runs that site and he is legit. If there are any issues with spammers abusing the service I'm sure I could get him to take action against their accounts.
