1. I scanned. Where was the "addition"? I really think that this is what
Edited on Fri Jan-13-06 02:37 AM by applegrove
they mean by annoying & anon posters. Lot's of people love words and history and may have a hobby writing stuff for Wiki. But it costs a corporation money to get rid of people who repeatedly "ring and run". Have you ever noticed that you cannot get corporate emails when you go to their websites? I tried when Pepsi canned Kane West. No way to contact them. For sure it costs money if you have to hire employees to rifle through junk mail and the like - to find legit & productive internet messages.

I really think that the law about annoying is really about saving money for corporations. Would be a very typical thing for any government to do if it is costing millions for any small business or large to be targeted by computer generated mailings or trolls.

I also don't think that if there is a campaign to email a UN office (say China) that sending one email on each issue would be included as annoyance. If people are told to call or right - than that is not one person repeatedly being annoying. If that would be included - I would be very upset.

But I really do not think that forums would qualify in any way as 'annoying' to any party. Since you have to agree to certain rules to log on.. anyway.

So I for one will hold my breath and think that that is what the law is about.

Really - I use Wikipedia. And if you cannot trust the information there - then it hurts all of us.

Again - with a quick run through I didn't see where the troll got at the Repuke page. Perhaps it is already fixed?
