I need to find out who is behind an anonymous blog and an anonymous
myspace page - I have some clues, but could use some tech help. Anyone
interested? Substantial reward if you can help me find out. Email me at
thehofstetter@yahoo.com

If you have a legal case against the author(s) then get "John Doe"
search warrants against the blog site and against myspace. Places
like myspace usually cooperate with properly-filed narrowly-cast
legal paperwork.
If you don't have a properly filed legal case, then since the blog and
myspace are probably not in the same state as you (you appear to be
in the USA), then the sort of investigation you suggest would very likely
violate the US Computer Fraud And Abuse Act.
In summary: you should probably take the matter through a lawyer, or
through licensed private investigators, or drop it.
