I would like to know some of the steps involved to sue someone on the
Internet.

1. I heard that you have to get a subpoena to the ISP to have that persons
name released to you
- how much does that cost
- do you simply fill out a letter and send it to the ISP, or does a lawyer
have to be involved?

2. how to you get the ball rolling to sue someone for libel...comments made
on a newsgroup?
- do I have to serve notice in private thru a registered letter of my intent
to sue?
- do I have to make specific complaints to an ISP, and the person in
question with private email?

Fun is fun in flaming, but when there are very severe false accusations
being made of illegal activity then that is the line that is crossed.
