All I get out of Virginia State law, ATM, concerns archaeology. Maybe I should keep digging, and for some reason, what I hav found so far is not promising that verizon's stated restrictions on spamming are not more exact and *potentially* effective. Someone said that a law without enforcement is not a law (of course, not, it is a bill), and I do not see any promises from Verizon/Bellsouth.

Looks like the self-described "small giant" (Grawp) was doing his thing this morning:

Time in a jail cell should be the ultimate Christmas/Hanukkah present for Grawp.

I strongly agree. Something must be done very soon. I noticed just in the past hour or so on RC patrol, Grawp harassed a few more users.

There would be no shortage of people to sign a petition to the ISP, if you want to go that route. This has gone on long enough.

If he's making threats of violence and stalking then you should contact his local police. They'll probably at least discuss it with him and he'll either stop or eventually criminal proceedings will occur. Doesn't sound like there's any other option.
Forensic analysis of his computer could doubtless prove it was him doing this, not his mother who shares the same IP.
You could also contact his ISP. It puts them in a bad light to have someone like that on their networks and nearly always violates T&C- they might well want to terminate his service. But he'll probably just get another ISP; but depending on where he lives there might not be many ISPs in his area.
Perhaps the Foundation could send a cease-and-desist letter to both her and him, cc the ISP?
