Terry,

For one thing, the law applies only to those who post
without revealing their identity. This means one can demand
prosecution of the authors of any political web site,
including the National Democratic Party's and the National
Republican Party's. One way or another, their web sites
annoy and harass someone, somewhere. Same for anyone who
posts anonymously any political speech.

According to the courts, "political speech" is pretty wide
ranging. The point of the First Amendment is, among other
things and according to the courts, to promote a free
exchange of ideas in the "marketplace," to get to the "best
solution," be it fixing one's car, or fixing a broken health
care system. Of course there are limits, like posting a
physical threat to a person's health. But giving your
assessment of a car or radio or whatever problem most
certainly is an important idea that belongs in the
marketplace.

In addition, you indicate you're Terry from Lexington,
Kentucky, and you're a guru on many aspects of Hondas. You
have in my estimation posted your identity.

(Never mind that the right to publish speech anonymously has
also been well-established, though again, within the
aforementioned limits. The Federalist Papers were first
published anonymously, so pointed out one court not long
ago, in protecting a certain person's right to publish
anonymously.)

Once this law is challenged in the courts, it will be struck
down quicker than you or I can do an oil change. And I'm
sure you're plenty fast at this.

You are in no danger. I hope you have been posting to this
thread tongue-in-cheek!
