What does this have to do with metalworking? Lets keep to the topic.

Besides, what is described is not even "spying". Spying would be more
along of what the Bush administration did, that is, obtaining a secret
tap to Internet network traffic. What is described here is a simple
lookup of information that was intended to be public. It is analogous
to googling my own name to see who mentioned me.

Those who believe that looking at public blogs is "spying",
live in a fantasy world.

Now the next question Comrade..is why are they bothering to keep
detailed records of who posted what..and when?

Think hard before answering about our Marxists in charge.

They probably are looking for serious-sounding threats to the president or
other government officials that could be getting organized online, like the
Arab terrorists do.

Maybe it starts with something like "in three years, the people are going to
rise up and start killing liberals." The file on you must be thicker than
your head. d8-)
