That's right. People who are too lazy to drive a fourteen year old to New Mexico, where they can legally fuck their brains out, should go to jail for a long, long time.

I consider this issue so important that I thought it appropriate to reply to it even before it arrived at the Cypherpunks mailing list.

I would like to remind George Spelvin (if that is your *real* name) that is improper Netiquette to reply to your own anonymous posts before they have even arrived to the mailing list to which they were sent. While the Mandatory/Voluntary Netiquette rules are unclear in regard to those with psychic abilities responding to the posts of others before they arrive at the mailing list, I am certain that the concept is the same.

I believe that people should be required by law to provide not only their true identity when using the Internet for communications, but should also be required to provide their true physical location, so that law enforcement agencies will know whether what they are writing is legal or illegal in the state from which they are sending the communication.

This is patently ridiculous! How do you know for certain that 'Anonymous' is not the person's *real* name? And how do we know that Anonymous is not physically *at* REPLAY.COM? Point to it on a map for me, why don't you? For that matter, how do we know that George Spelvin is *your* real name? And how do we know if you are physically at dev.null? I think that others on the list will agree with me that your logic is lame, and your arguments are ridiculous. LegallyPullingMyOwnPudAtREPLAY.COMonger
