I agree, however it does seem to be a bit much for a horny geek who propositions a supposed 21-year old who turns out to be 14 to be sent to jail and forever marked as an EVIL PEDOPHILE, rather than just being told to get a life. Particularly if, say, the girl in question was posting to alt.sex.wanted or something. But the main point I was trying to make here is that with laws like this proof of age would be required in both directions. Of course, a system that stamped each users age on outgoing messages could well lead to more real-world abuse by the real crazies, not less... Mark
