[thelist] Do I be nice or attack with legal?

[A. Erickson]

I agree. Don't mess around with the webmaster just have legal send a letter.
Also, I hate it when people contact the ISP. The poor ISP should not be
drawn into issues like this (unless it's SPAM or something which the ISP can
legitimately handle.)
