<Chuckle>.  It should also be 'suppose I'm not bound' --- US law, backed up
by more forcible methods, has a long reach, as many non-US businesses and
individuals know.

'US law' also has this nasty habit of being rather flexible when it comes to
dealing with aliens.  For example, we're trying to write terms and
conditions for trading on a Web site.  We can say all we like that the
participants are bound by English law but, if an American court decides that
it doesn't mean anything in the US, they ain't.
