I'll believe these researchers over Bush. What evidence do you have that the
number is off?

And the article makes no claim as to how they died.

No. Many find that it's satisfactory to follow a map laid out by
others whom they prefer to follow instead of doing their own
exploration.

BTW, I reconstructed the sentence above which you unethically
snipped, thereby changing its meaning. ;)

Legislation regarding harassing and threatening has been on the
books for some time, and the subject at hand is using the net to
annoy.

Your question, then, should be:

"You think ppl *should* be allowed to use the net to annoy other
ppl?"

The answer, of course, is the question:

"Do you think your using the net to annoy should be curtailed?"

And then they wanted us to leave. Do you think all those people killing
Americans mistake explosives for flowers?
