[lbo-talk] Webmaster Sherman Austin Gets 1 Year in Jail

[John Thornton]

While I agree that this blurb is short on substance you could do what I did 
and look the name up on Google. Since I knew nothing about this story 
before and I did bother to look it up "useless" would seem to be 
overstating things a bit. While I may infer from this post that Chuck 
sometimes gives out incomplete information to say that this post also 
"gives free speech a bad name" also seems to overstate things quite a bit. 
Why the hostility about something so insignificant?
