On the other hand, the act (I suggested calling it the "Net.Hero 
Responsibility Act", dunno if Arthur is using it) is only one of the plot 
aspects of our countdown.  There's more, and most of it is worse.  
Remember there's an election coming up.

I suppose you could argue that what we're doing is parodying the trend of 
having nearly everything in the hero world go to hell and disintegrate -- 
see Avengers Disassembled, Countdown to IC, then of course Civil War, and 
next World War Hulk).

Also -- another twist in the LNH's registration, I don't know if everyone 
noticed the important detail, is that registration is handled by the 
LNH.  This has some good overtones, potentially at least, while on the 
other hand it's also a bit creepy, in which it means all LNHers are 
automatically already registered, even if they're against registration.

best,
