As I am findoing out, there are 2 sides to every story. This friend was allegedly stealing content from other people's site and calling it her own among other deceptive idea snatching. So this person is trying to get back at her for all the wrong she has allegedly done.

As for the serious stalker problems, needing to contact authorities like the police isn't really a sad indication of our social system, which I think you were kinda getting at, so much as a sad indication of what amounts to a mental disorder on the part of the stalker. I have a little personal experience with this, so that's just why it tweaked my attention. But the original suggestions were a bit funny. Like getting back at an annoying neighbor by ordering a delivery of 5 yards of dirt to their address and paying for it in advance. -Kevin > -----Original Message----- > From: Haggerty, Mike [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, November 19, 2002 1:17 PM > To: CF-Community > Subject: RE: Yahoo Groups > > > Take it or leave it, these are only ideas.
