Firstly, an intelligent discussion on a topic would never lessen my opinion of anyone. You've presented very good well thought out arguments Linkster and no one in their right mind would think less of you for it
I think the area that I do have a problem with is that the ACLU saw an organization like the FSC fighting this fight and decided to sit on the sidelines. I still would have rather the ACLU handling this...personal opinion on this matter, but I would rather have someone that went for the jugular on the first attack rather than basically get a delayed action. 2257 would never stand a court challenge and I can see one or two things happening in this time of delay:
1. Webmasters deciding they don't have to be compliant at all...even with the old regs.
or
2. A few more months of hysteria, board panics, and a million hearsay comments on this topic...basically leading to some people getting bitchslapped for being nuts.
