I reported something to the FBI and Secret Service once. Within two weeks I had a Secret Service agent chatting with me in my living room. They -do- pay attention. It has nothing to do with people not being important.

In the case of things like message board postings, or whatnot, I think it's more a lack of seriousness. Think about it. You want them to go after one skiddiot, with one CC number who doesn't even know what to do with it? Or would you rather they go after the organized rings that break servers, and steal millions of numbers?

Were you wrong? No, not really. It's most a matter of putting things into perspective.
Just my thoughts.
