    Hi Paul,
    
    Calling the ISP will help. They won't "get" the guy, only slap his wrist. The
    biggest, ultimate effect of calling the ISP would be sending him a warning
    email.
    
    ISPs will never forward you any personal info, except if you're a government
    investigator. And if an investigator gets involved the damage has to be
    substantial (millions).
    
    Don't talk about evidence, and don't blow things out of proportion, this is just
    a simple mischief, happens to everyone.
    
    And patch that ftpd.
