I often talk about "re-commenters" (hyphen added to emphasize the "commenter" part). If I get mail, or letters, or e-mail, and then pass it along to my friends or others, WHERE IN THE FIRST does it say I need permission from government?
You're absolutely right, no law could stop you from being a re-commenter. However, you would be liable for everything you said. This would mean that you pay the penalty for any illegal message, any obscenity, any violation of copyright. In short being a re-commenter buys you absolutely nothing. Any message so innocuous that it could be delivered by a re-commenter (like this one, for example) does not really need anonymity.
