No!

There are few, if any, net.situations so bad that getting "the
authorities" involved can't make them worse.  We DO NOT want the Feds
investigating and/or regulating the net. (Nor do we want private lawyers
aguing over who said what about whom).

Sending e-mail to postmaster@site should cause the miscreant sufficient
grief.  Bringing in the Feds will cause us all more grief than enough.
