Since I am staying at my sons house for the holidays and he deals with ISP; web sites: ect at work all day; I asked him this question. Here is what he said.........
Your internet service provider has control over you because you pay for the service. Web sites have 2 options. Put a password on the account to stop access to the pages or let everyone look at them. So they can not stop you from looking. Now most sites make you register to post. So you can look all you want for free and there is nothing they can do. If you were to be registered and start a problem while posting they can cancel your account and stop you from posting. You inturn register under a differant account. They will now block your ISP address. Just look at this site. Kim keeps tract of every post with a ISP address. Even though you do not have to register to post here if you make her mad she will lock out your ISP address. It is her control to keep wars from starting and keep control over her site. If they have blocked your ISP address you will not beable to view the pages: but if they have not you can look all you want. If you presist in making a problem by getting a differant address or a new provider; the web site would contact the ISP provider; and if they can prove their case you will loose your account.
This can go back and forth many times if you were the persistant type.
As far as taking you to court or something that is not really in the laws yet. Their is a new "Bully" law that has just come out but that is only passed in 1 or 2 states so far.
If I were to guess...... I would say they do not want you to visit or post again. They have most likely blocked your registration already. In a attempt to stop it here they are sending you some letter to scare you away rather than going threw the trouble of blocking your ISP address.
Thats like saying I will prosecuted you to the fullest extent of the law for driving down my street. If that scares you away I have gotten my way.

Today's Featured Article - Gatherin of the Orange - by Rick Nikolich. In July of 1998 I was talking to fellow Allis Chalmers collector Mike Schilling about the annual "Gathering of The Orange" AC show coming up in August of 1999. He got this wild idea that we should get a convoy of AC tractors and drive them from Charlotte, Michigan 105 miles to LaGrange, Indiana.
