The right to free speech extends only to the limits of the speaker's forum. Speech that invades my forum (in this case my email account) is not, and should not be, protected. How hard is it to see the difference here? Except for Spammers, who _pretend_ that their crap is protected free speech, how many folks really can't make this distinction? -- ----------------------------------------------------- There's nothing right in my left brain.
