HG,
Do it again and a complaint gets filed with abuse@att.worldnet.com.
'nuff said.

Also Hilary sent me this note...I seem to remember that even anonymizers have strict policies about not using their service to post objectionable things on a BB or to engage in conspiracies to shut one down (which we can prove). If you get an address for the service they're using and make a complaint to it, pasting their plot talk along with URLs, there's a good chance that server will cut them off, close their accounts. We did that on another BB with some hotmail and yahoo disrupters--they contravened the Rules of Service and were kicked off. We didn't know their names but we said these people took part, and gave the real names and e-mail addresses they had used, and Hotmail and Yahoo were able to compare them to their customers and found some matches.
