ATTN: This is how you defeat the annoying web/e-mail msg law
The law resides on "intent". You have to "intend" for the "subject" to see/read/hear/obtain the annoying message/email/web site page. Therefore, so long as you intend for them to NOT see it, you can say/post whatever you want. The trick is this:

Post a message on the board/website SPECIFICALLY addressed to that person. When they fail to ever respond, you can present that failure to respond as evidence that they are not viewing that board/web site. After they fail to respond a few times, you've established very conclusive proof that they do not view that board/web site. You are then free to post what you want, and have a clear audit trail indicating that you are fully aware that they do not view the board/site. Therefore, you clearly do not qualify under this law since the law requires the subject to see it and requires that you intended it for them.

Everybody follow me here?

Here is mine:

Dear President Bush,
Please respond to this post if you read DU.

Thanks!

3. In leet speak, you use numbers to replace letters.
Roleplaying gamers are the antithesis to "leet speakers", we hate it with a passion.
Thus, the complete and total irony in my nick. "RPGamer" (not leet) "d00d" (leet).

Very few people really get it. Then again, I am a total nerd.

:D

4. President Bush, this is your last chance to indicate you post on DU
After that, I will assume you do not, and therefore post "annoying" things with the firm knowledge that they are not being viewed by you.

Thank you.
