Yeah, I know what you mean. British law is full of quirks - just
because it's so damn old. Could you imagine what the Greek legal
system is like? :)

I'm one of these people that say that the Internet cannot be
controled by any one Government. The net covers so many countries
and legal durastictions (sp?) that it makes it impractical and
unfair. The net is more or less another country in it's own right -
if not another solar system, that's abit extreme I know.

But this has nothing to do with Robots (well not much anyway).

...We now return you to our regulary scheduled flame throwing.
