wyrdolafr - were any laws violated? It sounds like all of the information that was published was - as far as the internet is concerned - public information. As far as the punk kid who abused his cat. I can't find any sympathy for him. And now he'll know that there are consequences for his actions. It couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

We all need to realize that anytime we post something on the internet - and yes - that includes the Mudcat - that the effects can be far reaching. For better or worse.
