Hope We Don't Have Any British Readers...

Because anyone who feels that they have been defamed by anything any of us write here can sue us in British Court if a SINGLE PERSON in Britain views the post. Yep, and it gets even worse. In British law, it is up to the poster to prove the allegations are true. They court assumes you are viciously lying unless you can prove otherwise. And they can go after ISPs as well who might be inclined to just remove material rather than fight a lawsuit.

Fortunately, a couple of Senators (Lieberman and Specter) filed a bill to protect US citizens.

So, KK, how many British visitors do we get here?

Queen Elizabeth is probably checking you all out right about now.

The British courts obviously have a lot of time on their hands.

Uh-oh, can I be sued for writing that?

We just had a new continent peek in. New South Wales, Australia. They didn't stick around and read much, but it still counts! The only one we are missing now is Antarctica, and I'm not holding my breath on that one. Hale, have any scientist buddies there?

Well,kk, not currently, but I will keep track of a few people's travel plans during the next Antarctic summer...stay tuned :)

Heck, sometimes I feel like I am the only one in my circle who has never been there!
