Why didnt you go after the SPONSORS that were GIVING money to Zango instead of targetting your average joe webmaster? Maybe Im missing something pardon but wouldnt it have been wise to expose every single sponsor that PAYS Zango? Or maybe you did that and I didnt see it.

The average webmaster who is promoting zango cash is worse IMO. They are the ones who are helping to spread this crap and get more computers infected with it. I don't recall going after many individuals, perhaps calling out a few who promote zango cash and asked them if they know what they are doing and if they are still doing it.
The sponsors who are supporting it definetly doesn't help either and many of them have been mentioned in previous threads (search GFY: Zango and you will see most of them). The problem is, it is unlikely we will get ALL sponsors to stop using them. As long as 1 sponsor is using them and buying up the keywords then our traffic is still being stolen. So we can only do the best we can to help damage the ones who choose to continue to use them. Hopefully we can show anyone who uses them it will cost them more in lost sales then in "adware" revenue, from all of the affiliates they are losing by being involved with this crap.
Some sponsors have stopped supporting "adware" and others have made statements that they have never or will ever support it. Some have even said the do accept it and will continue to do so (cough, AFF).
So, the amount of sponsors doing it or not really effects the bottom line of how much zango makes, which is a win for us if we can cause them to lose profits. The less sponsors bidding on their keywords and using them, the less sales they make. The real key is to educate the people who are promoting zango cash (the installs). These are the people who are really hurting us, and in 99% of the cases shooting themselves in foot.
