SAY MY NAME!

Or, rather, your name. If you’re going to annoy people online. Or you’ll go to jail.

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.

Wonder how they’ll enforce this one…
