Basically, Kentucky state legislator Tim Couch (supposedly in an effort to
fight online bullying) wants to make it illegal to anonymously post messages
on the Internet.  And, if a website owner doesn't verify your real name,
e-mail address, and physical address, and allows you to post, he faces a
fine of $500 for a first "offense" and $1000 for each additional "offense".
(Also, all posts must have your full real name listed along with the post.)
