"Annoying someone via the Internet is now a federal crime.

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."  (cut and pasted from the link)

hmmm... i use my initials and there is a link to my website so my identity isn\'t actually concealed... so i am pretty sure i\'m legally safe if i annoy someone.

?!?!Yeh I had read that the other day. I was, well, flabbergasted isn\'t quite a strong enough word.

Who\'s going to decide what\'s annoying and what is not? Anyway it only "works" for the USA, we in Europe (and the rest of the world) still can annoy you   Unless it\'s a pretext to start a new war:
"[size=18]War on annoying e-mail[/size].
Let\'s invade this or that country, they sent to much annoying e-mail to us, the bloody bastards. And let\'s pray to our buddy Jesus to be protected from the horrible plague of annoying e-mail:
                          
                           NowI lay me down to sleep
                           Pray the lord my soul to keep [size=0,5]protected from annoying e-mail[/size]
                           If I die before I wake
                           Pray the lord my soul to take [size=0,5]and curse those evil annoying e-mail senders[/size]"

I guess all I can do is hope for a judge with a sense of humor?
