I would like to apologise to the shady government worker watching my internet activity.

I’m sure long hours of surveillance of my appreciation of Dad jokes, cat videos, formula 1 news and results coverage, and seafood recipes is never going to provide you the crucial data you need for that promotion. It most be very dispiriting for you - if you exist.

I'm guessing there are automated filters that only bring the most egregious stuff to human attention.

Back in the '90s I knew a guy who inserted a random string of "NSA bait" in all his emails; something like "fuse thermite midnight meeting guns." I think he hacked together something that would change his signature line to make new strings.

BTW, Mr/Ms NSA person, If this made it thru your filters, I hope you enjoy this little exchange!!
