I sure hope this isn't an "annoying" post. Luckily, I'm not anonymous!

More "feel good" legislation. How many spammers and fishers are going to get caught, and if they do, how many will be punished.

They can't even catch the hackers that create and spread the worms and viruses, so how much priority do the "annoyers" get?

They can make any laws they want, but who is going to enforce them?
