book-mark.net / Mark's Bookmarks TRAFFIC?!

Ever since I have a password at thumbnailpost.com bloody Mark's Bookmarks copies each and every link...

I had stopped submitting to him back in late 1999 because his traffic was totally useless to me, and back then he was one of the first to come up with stupid requests like "my advertising text link on top of your gallery" or pay for submissions. I then tested my galleries listed at book-mark.net with a specific referrer code and from 300k+ traffic didn't even get 500 click-thrus and not a single sign-up - so that was a waste of bw in days when I considered 1:120 a bad ratio...

Now, bloody almost 5 years later I get hit by him again with over 15k/day

Would it be unethical to re-direct his traffic, since I didn't ask for it in the first place? Or did book-mark-net traffic improve in any way?
