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.

Then you should stay the **** off the internet. Certainly off usenet
and any other public forums. This **** is archived all over the place,
and that's not only by the government - google [ " Whitehouse spying
on social networking sites " richard ] and you'll get a link to this
thread, complete with your posts and mine, as well as a link to the
RitterCNC site that has the same thread, with your posts. Get used to
it.

I wouldn't write anything in these places that I wouldn't want a
prospective employer, an IRS agent, a cop or my wife to see.
