I'd've preferred if they'd tried to do something about spam, or even knowingly or negligently sending sexually explicit or intentionally deceptive (e.g., "I forgot to tell you this!") spam to children, and others for that matter but if they must start with "protect the kids!". The stuff this bill claims to counter seems quite mild compared to some of the spam complaints. Getting marketing info is one thing, but "TEEN BONDAGE MPEGS!!!" mail to kids seems to be ok, or less important anyhow. I guess it's easier to harass the honest than the stealthy. -- -Barry Shein Software Tool & Die | bzs () world std com | http://www.TheWorld.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: 617-739-0202 | Login: 617-739-WRLD The World | Public Access Internet | Since 1989 *oo*
