A litigant sought to convert his cause of action against his Internet service provider into a class action by inducing other subscribers to join him in it. To accomplish this, he pretended to be a dozen different people sending e-mail messages to the others, so as to create the impression that there was already a group prepared to pursue the litigation.

The next morning's paper reported the ruling: "Suer Sure Rues User Ruse."
