Don't learn UE from Panic, indeed.

I have to admit, not visiting a website as a condition of probation is a new one for me. I wonder how they're going to enforce it?

It's probably not enforced at all. It's not the most unusual order I've seen from a judge. I think it's meant to be a nudge in (what the judge perceives to be) a healthy direction as well as something else they can get him for if they have cause or want to revoke his probation.

Probably. Could get ugly, though, if he ever has to try and prove that he *hasn't* visited it...

And you've never made mistakes

Hmm, an urban explorer who never made mistakes.... Now that's something I'd like to see. Nice to hide behind anominity there Unfructer.

It takes exactly three clicks to go from this page to my full name. That you think I'm anonymous simply proves that you are not an explorer.
