Tell me...  Do you know where I live?  Robert Bolin is a very common
name and, as I choose to give it and my service provider is in another
state from where I live, I think you'd have a hard time with a civil
suit.  Only if I violate Federal Interstate laws would I have a reason
to be concerned, and that doesn't violate them, so anyone who wants to
try can kiss my ass.  They won't get anywhere and it'll just cost them
even more money to try...
