New Blogging Law
Apparently, it is now illegal in the U.S. to post a comment on blogs anonymously if it is intended to annoy someone! "Annoy" is literally in the text of the law.
Wow, score one for big business. I guess our elected officials don't like whistleblowers after all. That can't be constitutional, can it?
Feel free to answer that question in the Comments feature on this page, but don't annoy me without signing your name, or I'll turn you in.

Oops, I just saw a follow-up that says that the law excludes "interactive computer service," presumably including blogs. It's meant to prohibit harassing phone calls, apparently.
God, that's annoying.
Okay, you now are free to resume posting annoying anonymous comments on any blog you like; just don't do it over the phone. (Does that apply to telemarketers?)
