How about making it illegal for the culprit to go anywhere near a computer
for two years (punishable by prison). Put them on probation. This would have
a knockon affect of (in some cases) making certain people unemployable for a
while (if their job involves computers). Confiscate all hardware for the
duration and delete all know internet accounts etc. You could even
distribute lists to all known (local) service providers making it an offence
to provide a connection to anyone on that list.

Hm. How about having to listen to lots of people on a mailing list
dredge on about a topic which can only end up in the eventual consultation
of someone who knows the law pertaining to a given geographical area? :-)
Just think of how many portscans you folks are missing while typing!
