John Doe is the name being used by those companies to file suit against anonymous users of Yahoo Inc.'s Internet message boards who have attacked the credibility of the companies. At least four "John Doe" lawsuits have been filed in Santa Clara County since late June. Although Yahoo says all of the offending messages were removed from the Web following complaints by the companies, the firms filed suit anyway because they say it's the only way to discover the real names of the people who left the messages -- and, potentially, to collect damages from them. amcity.com
