How can the data protection act be used to defend the privacy of expressions of
opinion that have, in any case, been publicly published on an international
forum?

This is like accusing someone of hacking, i.e. because they have altered data
on my computer (well, the usenet messages are stored on my computer and these
contain data from <poster>, therefore <poster> has modified the contents of my
hard disk. Technically this might be true, but it is nonsense.) I too hold my
breath with interest, but an expectation that Inger's threats have about as
much backing them up as the rest of her Viking tails.
