[Wikipedia-l] multi-headed VANDALS

I just blocked 3 IPs of a vandal similar to if not the same as the previous 
one. Both events involved more than one IP being used by a single individual.

Please see http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/Special:Ipblocklist

One of the messages this person left was: 

"ADMIN, you gunna block every IP im on? ROFL.. don't waste your time ;) <3 
proxies ;)"

I know, we could whois the IPs and complain to the ISP but my partner is a 
tech support supervisor for Earthlink and he says that Earthlink does not act 
on these types of complaints. I don't know if this vandal's ISP will be so 
ambivalent. Most ISPs seem to not care what their users do so long as EULAs 
are not violated. 

I'm not sure what to do -- this person will almost certainly come back again. 
 
Any suggestions?

Jimbo you are an ISP owner, what do you think?
