Charter Net is very good about suspending accounts. I've work with them in the past. Send in copies of posts, date, time, IP and such, within one day those accounts will be suspended.
It is important to file formal complaints, with all service providers, to establish a history of behavior. Eventually accounts will be closed.

Incidently, off camera reports have it that dog which mangled the kidnapper, was rewarded for such good work; he was allowed to hump the man's leg before he was hauled off to hospital jail.

California Democrat Senator Feinstein to introduce Cox to the Senate Banking Comittee:
Cox on Thursday assumed the voice of a regulator, decrying financial misconduct as a threat to the vitality of the U.S. economy. "The natural enemies of this economic marvel are fraud and unfair dealing," he said after his introduction by Bush.
While some anticipated a tough confirmation process, no one Thursday predicted that he would be blocked. Indeed, Democratic California Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who had held back supporting Cox when he was a possible judicial candidate for the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, agreed to introduce him to the Senate Banking Committee that will consider his nomination.
"I have no reason to oppose him and believe he's qualified to do the job," Feinstein said.

But former SEC Chairman Arthur Levitt said those already lining up to criticize Cox "are going to be pleasantly surprised."
Levitt said that although he has disagreed politically with Cox on issues over the years, "I know he will put an emphasis on investor issues. He's smart enough not to polarize the diverse constituencies the commission deals with, and he knows the securities business. He's not a blind ideologue." ----------------- He is In...live with it

"...The Wall Street Journal suggests that Cox's opponents may question his relationship with First Pension Corp., which once was accused by regulators of cheating investors out of more than $120 million. Before he became a Republican congressman from conservative Orange County, California, Cox was a securities lawyer for the law firm of Latham & Watkins. According to the Journal, Cox did work for First Pension and its founder, William E. Cooper, who subsequently pleaded guilty to felony charges in connection with the scandal and was sentenced to prison. A White House spokeswoman told the paper that Cox had been dismissed from a civil lawsuit over the matter...
Shareholder groups, however, are not simply standing by. Rich Ferlauto, director of pension investment policy at the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, recently opined that 'Cox's track record in Congress should concern investors,' Added Ferlauto: 'Cox voted to gut FASB's efforts to require the expensing of options and in 1995 advocated an early version of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act that would have repealed the recklessness standard in shareholder suits. This proposed standard would have let Bernie Ebbers and Ken Lay off the hook for the financial manipulations at WorldCom and Enron.'..."

Thank you for writing to me with your concerns about the nomination of Representative Christopher Cox (CA-48) to be Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). I appreciate the time you took to write and welcome the opportunity to respond.
As you know, President Bush has nominated Representative Cox to succeed William Donaldson as Chairman of the SEC. I will carefully review Rep. Cox's record and the proceedings in the Senate Banking Committee when the committee considers his nomination. Please know that while I am not a member of the Banking Committee, I appreciate hearing your concerns and will keep your thoughts in mind should Rep. Cox's nomination come to the Senate floor.
Again, thank you for your letter. I hope that you will continue to share your thoughts and ideas with me. If I can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to call my Washington, D.C. staff at (202) 224-3841.
Sincerely yours,
Dianne Feinstein United States Senator

Please join me to resist the nomination of Cox to chair the SEC. Please write senators. Copy my email, if you like.

Quite a contrast here. Ms. Gadziala of the SEC speaks of a dire need to maintain confidence of American stock investors, while George Bush nominates Christopher Cox to chair the SEC.
As you know, Christorpher Cox has a long history of being associated with financial crime, twice indicted under the First Pension Fund scam, responsible for legislation leading to Enron and Worldcom, along with accepting large fund contributions from special interests known for their involvement in corporate scandals.
Many of us investors hold a very low opinion of Christopher Cox.
When you vote to confirm Christopher Cox to chair the SEC, you, personally, will send a message to the American public which contradicts Ms. Gadziala's empty meaningless words.
Your personal message, upon "yes" vote, will be,
"I support financial crimes against the American public."
Regards,
Bozo the Clown

"...First Pension Corp., was a fraud. In 1985, when Cox assured state securities regulators that a new Cooper investment scheme would be "low risk" and an absolute boon to small investors trying to save for retirement...to recall that First Pension was one of the most flagrant con schemes in Orange Country history, costing thousands of investors — most of them people with small nest eggs — as much as $130 million...."

"Mr. Cox - a devoted student of Ayn Rand...A major recipient of contributions from business groups, the accounting profession and Silicon Valley, he has fought against accounting rules that would give less favorable treatment to corporate mergers and executive stock options...he helped to steer through the House a bill making investor lawsuits more difficult...criticized by consumer and investor organizations. They say its adoption in 1995 contributed to an unaccountable climate that fostered the big accounting scandals at companies like Enron and WorldCom a few years later...."
