Personally, I hope that they continue posting; abuse@aol.com only
needs five complaints to yank an account.  I posted the 6!!! sent
to this ng just today back to abuse, and I think the fan's gonna hit
the proverbial very soon now.  Don't even bother replying to the
drivel Uther and 1010 ... (whatever) post -- send it right back to
their ISP (c/o abuse@aol.com) and let them take care of it.
