Yes, Jeff, but the trouble is that most posters of such anonymous
garbage are losers without two cents to rub together, so suing them is
a waste of time.
Their ISP might prove to be a little richer. Just a thought.
The nice thing about a civil lawsuit is that the huge fine can be
attached to defendant's wages; for every dollar earned, so many cents
go to paying the plaintiff the awarded amount. Also, if property is
sold, the funds are seized and again given to the plaintiff.
