I know of someone who quit his job over the issue of access to e-mail for non-business purposes, and I've heard of several threatened lawsuits arising from list flame wars, but so far as I know none were filed. (I've been threatened with lawsuits a few times as the List Manager, too.) I know of at least one case of an ISP being notified about a flame war that moved over to private e-mail which resulted in the account being deactivated. Most of the time, though, the ISP does nothing. -- Mike Nolan
