WV- Two men indicted on incest charges in W.Va.

The only thing important in this article is, the gentleman who was indicted for "... using a false user name on an e-mail site." While we don't know what the e-mail site was for which MAY make a difference, we do know this: The U.S. Supreme court has ruled a person is well within his rights to be on the Internet and reamin anonymous. How is that possible if one uses a real name? Further, are sex offenders now no longer permitted to file court documents using a "John Doe" name? These laws are going too far!
