Well, this wasn't one person's account. It was the company 
account. I've since learned that, as part of Dunhumby's process 
of killing off the Sociomantic brand, someone in their marketing 
department took it down without realizing that we were relying on 
it. To their credit, they have since tried to recover the 
account, but apparently by then it was too late.
