+=+ It seems to me that to comply with the law the
individual should divest himself of the status of
'spectator' before engaging in discussion on such a
matter. I believe the principle that spectators have 
no standing to intervene in the game is well supported.
However, there is a requirement to define when a 
spectator ceases to be a spectator and this extends 
to those privileged to view electronic transmissions.
