           ???????

In other words, any one of the thousands of us reading this mail
could send a message to your cousin and as a result he'd be

That sounds like a strange legal system -- more like what we hear
about the Iron Curtain than what I learned in school about
Mother England.

Did you really mean to say "receive"?
