Yes, Tegger and you can be a scream, but annoying ones(!) So
look out...

Not. :-)

Some chatter on this at
http://news.com.com/Create+an+e-anno...o+to+jail/2010
-1028_3-6022491.html?part=rss&tag=6022491&subj=news suggests
the law was meant to apply to people who used their internet
connections to somehow dial up a specific person (not
address a whole audience), anonymously, and harass him/her.

I think even Pres. Bush (someone whom I consider no rocket
scientist) would concede that this law is easily misread,
and he doesn't want to stop dissenting speech with it, and
that dissenting speech takes many, legit forms and is
important to this country. Often "annoying" speech is
critical to meaningful and good change for society.
