Maybe you could make it NCLUG-sponsored lawsuit. :-)

The other thing you could check up on is his ISP, "DialTone Internet"
(whom you mentioned).

They sound like they don't give a rat's ass, but AT&T is (one of) their
providers, so you might look at AT&T's ISP AUP and see if it covers
spamming; if so, you might mention to DialTone Internet that they deal with
their customer quickly and properly (and I don't quite know what this
means... pay you the fee, maybe?), or you'll talk to AT&T about them not
following their AUP.

It's a (wonderful, wonderful) chain, really...

You might be the first person to win a case against a spammer in the state
of Colorado, which could (probably would) definitely get you on the evening
news (I might uhh... be able to help with that)... if I were you, I'd go
for it, but then again, I'm known for testing the patience of social
institutions (*cough* freepaul.org *cough*).

Later,
Paul
