Thanks Chief, the flight was great. Business class is nice, got lot's of reading done. Regarding your other post to me concerning Phillips. Of course I am well aware that this could have effects on all of us, not just the bashers. It was wrong of me to direct my post to them, glad to see you cleared it up. One thing that this case should point out to a lot of people, especially those using aliases - you are not as anonymous as you may think. If someone really wants to know who you are, it is not that difficult to find out. May take a court order, but it can be done. That is part of the reason that I use my own name, but the main reason is that I feel that I have nothing to hide, and you have a lot more instant credibility when people know who they are speaking with, or listening to, less time needed to prove yourself. All this internet stuff is still in its infancy. The laws may not yet be written to cover some of what is done, said, whatever, on forums like SI. If someone wants to come after me legally for anything I've ever said on here, it would be very interesting. Probably very time consuming, and very expensive, at least for someone. Not expensive for me, as I would not hire a lawyer. Cases like the Phillip's one get into all kinds of areas concerning privacy, freedom of speech, and other things that people take very seriously, and get very passionate and emotional about. I'd be pretty confident that many bright lawyers would jump at the chance to take on cases like that. Later, Jim
