Annoying someone over net = federal crime.

[Number Six]

It's no joke. Last Thursday, President Bush signed into law a prohibition on posting annoying Web messages or sending annoying e-mail messages without disclosing your true identity.

What's "annoying?" I think Hambil is annoying, but I'm not taking him to court over it...mainly because I don't want to have to look at him.

Worst case scenario: time to break out the proxies. This law is barely enforcable.

Does this mean we have to tell our true names over here? Does this let Jillian off the hook as we already know what her name really is?

Good point CU. I think a good instructional thread on the use of proxies would do our less experienced trolls a world of good.

By writing this legislation and therefore causing its posting all over the internet, I would like to charge all the congressmen whose names aren't attached to it under their own statute... can I do that?

Fortunately, I don't think I've ever annoyed someone by what I posted.
