By the way, I'm watching MSNBC and they're engaging in a fretfest about this Oregon situation, with calls for "regulating the Internet."
The Internet just makes it more efficient. The way it used to work, is that Northern California service station attendants would look in Oregon cars they were servicing for registration papers or get other indications (from drivers license, checks, credit card imprints or social engineering) the name and/or address of the traveler. This information was then sent to accomplices in Oregon for "processing." This is an OLD story. S a n d y ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
