I agree whole heartedly and further lend my voice to the dissatisfaction at
what has taken place. 

In this day and age of rampant Spam, viruses, porn, electronic theft of
information and other malicious activities, we and the clients we represent
need all the tools and help we can get. Those that take the time and effort
to provide tools and resources to help us in this never ending battle are to
be commended for their efforts. It is an absolute travesty to embattle them
in political or other such infighting and in doing so remove access to the
work that is provided by that person.

While I have no idea of the actual problem or root of why the isatools.org
site is not available, in doing so, we are all being held hijacked.
