The immediate, simple solution -- which would be right at the top of my agenda were I the IT department -- would be, "shut it down, who needs it?" My tendency would be to put the user on review and outlast him. And/or suggest that the people he's harassing call the cops, if it's that serious. But know that once you're involved as list owner, you're now responsible for _everything_. -- Russ Russell Hunt Department of English St. Thomas University http://www.stu.ca/~hunt/
