Thank God normal writing 'kreatives Schreiben' was invented before the current generation of ingnorant, un-educated assholes began to get the idea that they had the right to control all content creation, aka free speech, AND the protection of the right of free speech is enshrined as the First Amendment (to the US Constitution).
I continue to be amazed by the simple degree of mis-understanding by Americans of their own system of law and constitutional process.
Whether lawer or not, I would expect everyone to have learned, in civics classes, for example the basic principles of Anglo-Saxon common law and procedure and its interaction with the constitution.
Common law provides for discovery, mandated by subpoena Duces Tecum, for the discovery of relevant information at Civil Law, ie you can be mandated to produce information relevant to an action to which your are a party, but with all the appeal process against such an order, at the exhausion of which, yes, you are subject to sanction for contempt.
The constitution, in contrast, through the fifth amendment provides protection against self incrimation in criminal matters and thus a non-appealable mandatory defense against sanction for contempt, in criminal process, subject to public and overt election; ie you must declare you are invoking the fifth, and the court/jury can draw their own conclusion from that.

Downward pressoure on harware prices and competition fostered by linux will attack the high end
