: With no supporting data.  The hypothesis of charged black holes is just 
: hand waving, with no observational basis.  Assuming that a black hole 
: can exhibit electrically charged behavior leads quickly to the 
: conclusion that information survives the trip across the event horizon 
: and can be monitored for an indefinite period.

So?  I suppose you expect the information about how much mass the
hole has should also disappear?

Face it, you're seeing problems where none exist.  You aren't getting
information from the *inside* of the hole, other than the history of what
was thrown in.  You can't tell what has happened to the charge once it
crosses the event horizon, other than the fact that it did, indeed,
cross the event horizon.  But that's hardly news, since you just
threw a charged particle in.  This is analogous to a charge inside
a faraday cage; you can't tell what the charge is doing in there,
but you can tell there *is* charge in there.

: If electrical charge does vanish when it crosses the event horizon,

There is no reason to belive that happens, and lots of reasons 
to suppose it doesn't.
