Now why would someone get sued for signing up as "anthony" and then posting here? Seems rather bizarre to me. But maybe I am missing something in US law, or pig law, or idiot law, or whatever law you are under. Now can I ask a question? You have permission to use A@P Trader? I could sign up today as A@Pchimpanzee or A@Pmoron or A@Pidiot or A@Ploser what copyright? who's gonna stop me (or my buddy that would sign up since it would be against SI TOU for me to do it)
