I like the indecency and "intent to annoy" parts best.

I was just thinking about_THE COMMUNICATIONS DECENCY AMENDMENT_covered by
our own
Pynchon_list Doctor of Juris Prudence ( a recovering attorney) earlier this
week. In the perspective of recent mailings to list..The 11 year old writer
... the Jean Bonnett Ramsey comparisons ..Ebonics
....the spreading the neurological urchin gospels songs and other daily
rants , in a much broader perspective, as part of the new internet law with
its slide tombone of morality of political correctness and Email being the
ultimate in this form with it's questionable content or having any
redeeming social value , plus the capability of pissing off and annoying
people worldwide very fast.
Taken from the earlier postings:

After reviewing the content of my recent email posts that I read and been
sent from the members of the P-listto , I have come to the stark
realization that you are all co- conspirators in a ring participating in
indecent acts involving interstate telecommunications.W.A.S.T.E. not want not
(After all you read what I sent you!) How could you! What would you family
think!
I have taken the liberty of calling your building security AND THE LOCAL
AUTHORITIES
They should be there to arrest you shortly...You among us on the tenure
track might as well kiss
the teaching positions goodbye ! Resistance is futile !
Don't worry I will write to you all in prison. Just let me know your email
address.
Meanwhile back at the ranch:
Maybe we'll all have adjacent cells and I won't have to write. Meanwhile
back at the ranch:
Read the below carefully. I think the the Secretary of Transportation is
going
to show up at our houses, break down the door (with jack booted thugs) and
adjust
your VCR clock.
