Some of us were seriously looking into that about a year ago. I didn't
fill you guys in on THIS part of the RabbiConnection(tm) rumor, but
supposedly the REAL reason the rabbi decided to have a chat with mom
was for the exact reason that Berg suggests above -- we had tracked
Kev back to his home address, and were starting to discuss, rather
seriously, about having someone pay him a "visit."
And not to chat about the latest IRC software, either. ;-) Rabbis and
moms apparently take the whole emergency-room thing very seriously.
On a more useful note, there was (last year) a Web site *devoted* to
finding and stopping Kevin: <http://www.iac.co.jp/~issho/stop-spam.html>.
It's still up, though it hasn't been modified since last November
(which is interesting -- when I checked it a month ago, it hand't been
modified since last May; go figure). And there's always the Internet
Blacklist, which has a little more info on some of Kevin's OTHER scams:
<http://math-www.uni-paderborn.de/~axel/BL/blacklist.html>.
I tend to think that the only way to stop this idiot is abuse -- either
physical abuse or legal abuse. Take your pick.
