Ok, here's what I did: 1. disabled pythonspot as well 2. added note that we don't want spammers to fill the listings on that page 3. moved the entries of both pythonspot and pythonguru to the end of the list (reinstantiated the pythonguru listing which pythonspot had removed); removed duplicate pythonspot entries and only kept the pythonspot.com one around
If one of the two want to make edits, they can ask for change requests on this list, but I don't think we should give them editor rights again for the time being - at least not until we get the feeling that they have learned the lesson.

So, yeah, I'd remove the spares.
