Yes that is sort of what I mean. At least start next time with 'If I was 
bothered by ... and I know the IP, would you think it is a good idea...' 
even if you have already done it. In the end this is a somewhat 
different audience than the usual newsgroup.

Next legal problem: we now know that we have probably a criminal amongst 
us (at least that is how I feel about this) should we take action? My 
feeling is that this is not severe enough to justify an action that 
would result in invading the privacy of Ian. Nor can we tell anybody 
that there is this guy (probably) that has erased a server somewhere on 
this world or so he(?) says, probably sometime last week. Not really 
specific if you ask me. Still, I would have preferred not to know.

Non-legal problem: how to react to ian within this newsgroup. Nothing 
changed as far as I am concerned. Apart from noting the fact that he can 
apparently behave like a hothead sometimes. And he has the knowledge and 
tools to do nasty things with computers. At least he did not use a gun. 
That reminds me: where is Ken?
