Unfortunately, lawyers got involved threatening all sorts of legal action for
allegedly libelous threads.  They got the attention of the ISP and for the money
involved ($0), it is clearly not an item that one would want to spend time or
money on your own lawyers.  I would not reccomend for anyone to hold it unless
you are willing to deal with lawyers on a regular basis.

I was actually contacted by one of the lawyers involved and I can tell you it is
something that you do not want to be part of -- unless you like spend money on
lawyers with no reward.  The lawyer is good, he had a client that had clearly
been injured (IMO) and it appeared that the perpertrator (not his client) may
have been involved in a very nasty criminal enterprise that no one would want to
happen to him.

Without going into more details - never signup for any membership on the
internet with a password that is same password for your personal e-mail account.
 An unscrupolous internet web operator will try to hack into your personal email
account with the same password that you provided him.  He will learn who you
are, where you live, and whatever else someone could learn about you by going
your through e-mails.  So if you have login anywhwere on the net, that has the
same password as your email account - change your email account password pronto!
