How about looking for any type of "personal" data in his message (look in
the source code of the website, too) and doing a google search? Maybe there
is a keyword that they used somewhere else, too - stating their real name
this time...

I'm hoping this board can help me.  I've been tasked with trying to
track down an individual who posted some comments to a yahoo message
board defaming a company.  Is there any way to track this individual,
short of a court order to yahoo?  His profile is private, and (duh!)
he's not responding to postings to email.

Any ideas on a direction to look or a tool to use would be greatly
appreciated.

Bob
