Amen! Especially after I learned a bit more about JJ in one of our
local area news groups.  To quote:

	In reference to the nortorious JJ:

	Well, for a dollar I'll give you the name, address, and phone
	number of the person.... :-)

	Really, in all seriousness, giving the individual any sort of
	attention AT ALL will just elicit more actions of the same
	irresponsible kind.

	I will tell you this though.  The person is in their senior
	year of high school next fall.  Is a member of a wealthy
	family.  Is a social misfit.  Generally does not realize the
	implications of the Net or the extent of the Net.
	
	I know who the person is.  I'm not trying to hold out on
	you folks, but really believe that this person should be
	ignored as much as possible, especially when s/he WANTS and
	begs for attention.

	Thanks for listening.  If you have a different opinion, please
	email.  Will be happy to discuss it.
