This is the letter I sent back to them:

One of my readers made an offer which I would like to offer to you.
Because my account was shut down so quickly, a lot of my readers have no idea what's
going on.
If one of my readers sends you a check for $39.90, can I reopen a 10 meg site at
host1 thru the end of September.
I would only run html pages containing links and status reports as to where we've
gone. There might be some imbedded gif files, logos, etc., but now downloadable
files.
The bandwidth load should be very low (once someone has found the link to where they
should be looking, it's unlikely they'll come back to the old ~caster site), and
I doubt I'll use even 50K of web space. I agree with you that host1 and I no longer
work well together. But all of the links and search engines still point to host1,
and some forwarding messages would help a lot.
Please let me know if this is a workable temporary arrangement. I am arranging to
buy other web space. I owe my readers the service of letting them know where we
went.
Also, did you delete all of the files on your hard drive. I am very interested in
the statistics files stored in several /counters directories.
Please let me know what you decide.
Thank you,
Bob
