It's tempting to mass-email assault idiots like that.

However, I bet you 10:1 that the fool was no fool and was probably doing it from a library computer, an "internet cafe" or his school computer lab and using a Hotmail email address.

The only thing this would accomplish is clogging the entire Internet with even MORE garbage than what's out there already.

Guys,

It's impossible to monitor 24 hours a day, and Bill did indeed delete the offensive posts as soon as he became aware of them.

I had already removed a few from the non-U.S. area, but I believe there were around 100 messages in all, so it took a little while.

Paul is correct,

The only alternative that would help to deter incidents like we saw is to have settings where each registration must be 'approved' by someone before they can post anything. This feature is 'on' at the moment, but as a rule may not be the best way to leave it, and no guarantee that it could not happen again if the person(s) are really determined to cause trouble.

Bill,
That's a good idea!
Mike,
I agree(in hind-sight), that retaliating to this, would be stupid.
Sorry to all for even suggesting it.

Bill, I think we take you for granted at times. I know I do. So as others have said, I want to say Thank You and Good Job.
