The problem was not really that anyone was upset that the NSA is reading
the Net, is was mainly that some people did not like us putting
keywords at the ends of our .signatures because:
1) We where (are) wasting resources (it cost money to transmit those
extra 1-3 lines)
2) We are wasting tax-payers money by making the NSA sort thru more
junk
3) We are endangering the security of this country
4) We might attract the baleful attention of a 'security agency' and
disappear.

All of the above where mentioned either in this group or in misc.misc
before it moved here.
Of course I don't like the idea of someone reading my email, but even
some sysadmins do that...
