Not that it would make much different, but the quote states that the sender
must have the "intent to annoy". It doesn't say that it is a problem if the
recipient is actually annoyed. So in the examples they give of someone
wanting to bring a bad situation to light, their intent would not be to
annoy, but to bring a bad situation to light. Thus that would not be illegal
as it is portrayed in the article in the link.
But then, there is language in the Bill of Rights that seems to be very
obvious, yet it is twisted and/or ignored every day. Who is to say how this
wording will get twisted and/or ignored.
By the way, with laws like these being put on the books, it is more
importantthan ever to get the activist judges off the benches. Write to your
senators and reps and let them know this.

-6022491.html[1] "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. " Anon -- and living on the edge
