Funny that one of the topics you covered was asked about here the other day (do not ship lists)... coincidence or inspiration?
Thanks, much appreciated.

There was an inspiration - but, no, I didn't see the post about No Ship Lists here, and it takes a more than a few days to research and write that kind of article, anyway. A dialog on another board inspired it, about a month ago, and I won't embarrass the truly impressive, major player gentleman on that board by mentioning his name. He thought Do Not Ship Lists were a good idea. But my sense is that he'd been fooled into thinking so. That was the inspiration. He's the one who told me how very bright lawyers who know what they are doing write those kinds of Lists to protect their clients, and added that guys like me just want people to get in trouble so we can make money defending them. Ouch. AVN showed interest in running a controversial article about this topic for its December print AVN Magazine. So, I resolved to lay out the facts and history of obscenity prosecutions as I see them - and the result is before you. Reach your own conclusions.
