If demon hadn't ignored it, it still would have done nothing. By the time he noticed it, it had already been propogated worldwide to millions of servers, each of which would still have a copy available for any reader to see no matter how thoroughly Demon scrubbed their disks, and most of which were outside the UK and therefore beyond his legal reach. The legal process is inherently broken. The law has no teeth to do anything but harass innocent third parties, and anyone engaging in that sort of tactic is a heartless sociopath. -- This is The Reverend Peter da Silva's Boring Sig File - there are no references to Wolves, Kibo, Discordianism, or The Church of the Subgenius in this document "Twenty-two points, plus triple-word-score, plus fifty points for using all my letters. Game's over. I'm outta here." -- Melissa ... by Kwyjibo.
