No shit.
Brian,
While I agree with your point of view, I must inform you that your word is one of the "Seven Dirty Words" and that you have thus violated the Communications Decency Act. There are several self-admitted minors (including several high school students) subscribed to the Cypherpunks list, so use of such indecent language as the above is a violation of the CDA on the face of it.
I presume you will not be allowed to prosecute yourself.
Fuck. I've been caught! But I granted myself immunity. So piss on them. Besides, it is almost 1:00 a.m. and all kids are asleep!
