The British are coming!

The lawyers, anyway, according to this found at the Captain's Quarters.

Basically, the British courts are taking the attitude that if someone reads something on the 'Net, say in a newpaper online site, and they feel they've been slandered, they can sue in British courts. Doesn't matter if the paper itself was never published over there, they claim jurisdiction to sue.

Read the article for the specifics. My own attitude is as follows:
We kicked your lobsterback arses out of here about 222 years ago. You lost any claim to authority here at that point. If you don't like it, you can kiss my ass. Need specifics? You can kiss my Irish/Scot/Cherokee/English ass, on Main street at high noon.
