[thelist] Smart Tags: Viewer liability?

[Captain F.M. O'Lary]

For starters, if there is anything I am not its a lawyer.

It occurs to me that if the browser ships with the 'smart links' off (what
a misnomer huh?) and the VIEWER makes the choice to turn them on  . . . 

who is *actually* modifying your content? The viewer who decided to modify
your content, or the Evil Bill? I'll just bet *his* legal department
already thought of that.

Just a thought.

May be that button should read: "If you have smart tags enabled while
visiting you could be subject to legal prosecution".

!! YIKES !!

The thought makes me visualize pictures of abject poverty and a global
kinda Armageddon thing.

Woa!
Fuzzy.

It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to steal the neighbor's
