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.
In other words, it's OK to flame someone on a mailing list or in a blog as long as you do it under your real name. Thank Congress for small favors, I guess.
This ridiculous prohibition, which would likely imperil much of Usenet, is buried in the so-called Violence Against Women and Department of Justice Reauthorization Act. Criminal penalties include stiff fines and two years in prison.[/quote:244b1]
aparently she had enough to trim and glue on there oOo:
I like how the republicans snuck this new law into a totally unrealted bill. That is what should be outlawed. Fucking politicians.

That's been happening for a really long time. I think it's a good practice, because it makes congressmen actually have to read what they are signing into law...We don't want them sitting there just signing something they haven't read right?
