The user account you indicated was indeed disabled due to suspicious
high-volume activity, indicative of an attempted denial-of-service attack or
similar inappropriate activity.  We do not provide any more detail than that
in such cases.

Presumably this was related to this work, although we have no way of knowing
for certain: http://strazzere.com/blog/?p=158  While we don't necessarily
have a problem with people accessing the Market in unusual ways, your
traffic was excessive, suspicious, and in violation of the Market Terms of
Service.

Perhaps your traffic was accidental, but we have no way of distinguishing
between an accident and an actual DoS attack.
