Major problem here is that ten million horny geeks are likely to bring=20
your server to its knees, but if one only has one image, and it is=20
moderately small, say thirty thousand bytes, perhaps the flood would=20
taper off eventually.

Here James has stated the crux of the problem in its basic, elementary =
form. Why cannot legislators, the courts, and all those socially =
responsible individuals promoting the CDA and their other complaints =
against indecency recognize the obvious:
that the problem of the presence of (and the success of) alarmingly =
objectionable material on the internet is all due to the existence of =
all those "ten million horny geeks", who en masse can actually "bring =
servers to their knees".
I think this is a Male vs Male problem, and personally I think the =
mature and wise men of the world should take the case in hand and deal =
with it on a Man-to-Man basis.
Or, they could just adopt Assassination Politics and do away with all =
those "other people's" (horny) internet-addicted male children.
(Ha-ha. Really, Jim - any "democratic society" where one group elects =
a governor and another group votes to to shoot that person down sounds =
more like a Bosnian/Serv "society". It wouldn't make sense to become a =
member of such a disfunctional, self-defeating group of misfits in the =
first place.)
