At the very lest I am sure my mispellings will "annoy" someone.
Given a new law has been signed into effect that requires uses to sign

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

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.

I am threatened and annoyed by the idiot boy king called Bush. Can we

I find the above message very annoying and wish to file a complaint.
