Lots of people would be pissed off about this, but I think that is because
it probably affects them the most.
If you really want to do something good, take down the blog.  We all know
that their are stupid users out there, and outing them doesn't help
them...or their administrators.  Then instead of posting IP/login
information, bombard those e-mail accounts with anonymous e-mails telling
them that they screwed up by passing credentials in the clear.

If you really want to be funny, send it from their own account.
