Cheers, some good advice there.

Having slept on it, I feel a lot calmer, my main reason for posting last
night was that I wanted to find the right level of action, there is often
very little point letting people like this annoy you, on the other hand it
IS unprofessional, their problem is NOT my problem - I wouldn't dream of
taking my annoyances out on a lost client In this way.

Whilst I am drawn to the idea of sending a couple of big lads round to
"correct their network setting", I suspect that would only make me as bad as
them (though I would have the knowledge that I didn't have a network cable
up MY arsehole)

Yup - each email they send from the IP addresses I have is automatically
BCC'd to the abuse team at tiscali, with a note attached at the top
explaining why.

>> A small suggestion. Why not write them an email that goes something
like..

I did wonder about that, there doesn't seem a lot to loose, apart from the
fact they would know it was annoying me - that only fuels some people

Interestingly, the attempts and scripted email attacks seem to have stopped
shortly after I posted, - I wonder if its someone lurking on list?
