Doesn't necessarily mean they are in Virginia, however. I did a Whois on my Wisconsin RR IP and got the same VA address as Freako. The abuse@rr.com idea (with the IP address and exact time of freakiness) is still a good one, however. Banning that particular address is probably just a short term solution. In a day or so, he may be dynamically assigned a different one or there are ways of easily spoofing one's IP.

Yes - for all of you kind people who have emailed me or left comments here - you are all wonderful. Within moments of posting, I had 5 emails in my mailbox. Thank you!

I've reported the IP address to abuse@rr.com.

Jeff -

Yeah. I agree. Cool, though, how in the middle of a confrontation with this person who sucks - I am, at the same time, confronted with the kindness and helpfulness of others - half of whom I have never met. My other readers here. Very cool
