The appropriate law enforcement authorities must be notified of these threats immediately. Indeed. It's a Federal offense to threaten people by email. And such threats are unpleasant, as we have reason to know, having received more than a few ourselves. Like you, I hope the Bizwire employees in question have reported these unwanted communications to the proper authorities.

The records will be available for when the authorities were contacted regarding these threats against the employees. The authorities should be made aware that some of us wish to assist and may be able to assist their investigation, as we may recognize certain public e-mail addresses from the past... "Wind's up their kilts", some would say around here. But this is serious stuff, as tonto points out - #reply-9729695 - and certainly neither you, Bill, nor Jeff would encourage or condone 'threatening' messages of any sort. The appropriate law enforcement authorities must be notified of these threats immediately. Here in Canada it is a serious offense to utter threats by whatever medium, surely it is an offense in the States as well? Perhaps someone could inquire of [reference deleted] just which law enforcement agencies have been alerted.
