I included the GIF warning in EFFector Online for unsuspecting BBS operators. Child pornography is not protected speech, and challenging child pornography laws is not currently on EFF's agenda -- but protecting BBS sysops from having their systems seized is. I figured those who sought to challenge the child pornography laws would poo poo the message. I guess I figured right. BTW, before I ran the article, Mike Godwin and I had a discussion about whether the *cops* would be angry, thinking we were obstructing justice. I guess I just can't win! I'd like to request that this discussion be taken off the cypherpunks list, since it is not on point to the list. O.k. by you? Shari
