Tell him that unless you access his computer without authorization, that the
FBI don't care. Someone recently was pissed enough at me to forge mail saying
I was a child molestor. I called the cops, who had me call the FBI. They said
that forging electronic mail is not a crime. ONLY in cases of unauthorized
access will they intervene.
(The guy forged mail with *netscape* can you believe. Which gave complete
headers, including his IP address. Which matched the X-Originating-IP address
of the message he sent me via hotmail saying that he was going to "play rough".
I hope his ISP terminated the account. My sister-in-law, a lawyer, wants to
sue. :-)
