In California, and I suspect many other states, the context is not relevant. They spell it right out. You can't call somebody on the phone and say, "I going to burn down your business, kill you, your employees and their families". It's a felony, whether you "meant it when you said it" or not. California Penal Code, Section 422. - Paul - P.S. Blocking "cloaked domains" is silly. It's just as cloaked whether I rent a PO Box or PMB or use a service. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
