I hope your efforts are wasted too Gary... but if they make you feel better... go for it.
You have the freedom in this country to reveal as little or as much of the details of your identity and feelings as you choose. No one here will ever begrudge you that. Did you notice that I don't use a screen name? many of the long time members here do the same, and even post their actual photograph as an avatar. (Yep, that mug is ME).
I am nothing like the infamous face of the "Affordable Health Care act" website girl who seems to have disappeared... and I would never put anything on this website that would be incriminating, because it would violate my personal ethics to do something or say something that is patently illegal... hence I have no reason to be paranoid.
20 years of active duty with the US Army gave me more than a casual acquaintenceship with the U.S. intelligence community including the NSA, and the good sense to know that we don't have tax dollars available to track the average citizen... That's not to say they wouldn't analyze all communications records that they can to see if a known bad person has been in touch with me, or vice versa. More power to them...
By the way, here is my personal favorite NSA conspiracy leak scenario... Edward Snowden is really a planted intelligence asset whose real mission is to be accepted and trusted by the Russians so they will put him in charge of their government websites so he can infect them with the Obamacare virus.
I am going to bed... you all have a great evening.
