So...while I see your point, it seems like a pretty lame way for a
spammer or attacker to get at somebody.

Perhaps, but it may be a way to "punish" someone with whom you have a
disagreement, since it could lead to someone complaining to the victim's
ISP.

I guess. Anybody who chooses that as a way to "punish" somebody probably
gets even with folks by stealing one paperclip a day from their desk drawer
too, gleefully anticipating that glorious day when the victim wants to
attach two pieces of paper together and has to walk to the copier room to
get more clips. <chuckle>

There are so many better ways to do it -- heck the "attacker" could just
complain to the victim's ISP directly and claim to have been spammed by
him/her.
