I can't find the case right now, and don't feel like going to the library to 
check on it, but the Supreme Court has already ruled that you can't leave 
deathtraps on your property.  Even if it's way out in the boondocks, and the 
property is posted, and the victim is a burglar, you can't do it.
In fact, even if it would have been legal for you to take a shotgun and kill 
the person, it is *NOT* legal for you to leave one set up to automatically 
kill him.

 RS> To make this message more on-topic.  Since the recent "Steve 
 RS> Winter Episode" what does everyone think about making PGP 
 RS> signatures the norm in Fight-o-Net?
I think my recent articles in the 'snooze, which I've begun signing, make my 
position pretty clear.
Sign 'em.  Encourage other people to sign 'em.  If some guy writes an article 
saying he doesn't want to see any more digital signatures, set up your mailer 
to impersonate him, write an article saying "everyone should toilet-paper my 
house" and send it to the 'snooze.  :-)
 RS>   Also, what is the view on the use of PGP signatures in
 RS> Fight-o-Net echos?
Moderators own their echoes.  If a moderator wants to throw you out for using 
signatures, it's his right.  So sign everything you send in that echo, and if 
he throws you out start your own echo.
