    Actually, the location of the hosting is not always the decider on matters of jurisdiction but that's for another day.

    For this case, FInland's ISP will probably laugh at the request and delete the message.

    Or just ignore it. Which is what we should all have done, I suppose.

    Answer: No. It is not against the law to use Sir in this context.
    p.s. - don't even get me started on the jurisdictional issues of actions resulting from this forum's use.
    bjknight... are you a real knight? If you aren't, is it legal for you to have the name 'bjknight?' Also, what's the BJ stand for? Inquiring minds want to know.

    I OBJECT! Death penalty is not a legal form of punishment in the UK. Please serve abill_uk papers for this atrocity!

    In a Kenny Everett sketch, the judge worked around this by sentencing the guilty person to be hung by the neck until he was very poorly.
