While perhaps personally satisfying, I believe this is very poor advice. Goliath just might decide that your publishing his exposure to risk put him at greater risk, and he might decide that *you* should be personally sued to compensate him for the results of that exposure.I believe David gravely injured him and was taken far more seriously after that. Perhaps publish the offending address information... if you're getting that kind of behaviour originating from their net, I'd wager they have other problems and might be more easily exploitable than some other address. There are people out there who would appreciate and make use of that kind of info. Maybe pick the appropriate high visibility mailing list or irc channel.
