Remember taunting school age friends with that phrase, "WHAT..is it crime?
Answer: Is Now.

"Annoying someone via the Internet is now a federal crime. 

It's no joke. Last Thursday, President Bush signed into law a prohibition on 
posting annoying Web messages or sending annoying e-mail messages without 
disclosing your true identity. 

In other words, it's OK to flame someone on a mailing list or in a blog as long 
as you do it under your real name. Thank Congress for small favors, I guess. "
