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.


You can rest assured that comments besides Obamania will be targeted and
your info will be recorded, so that the Commisar can compile an enemies
list.

I just don't like the idea of Big Brother peering over my shoulder - it's
anathema to Liberty.

Get ahold of a copy of George Orwell's "1984", and see how accurate it is
today.
