They found your e-mail without you giving it to them? Sounds like NSA.

Protesting can be great. But if a protest only affects low-level paper handlers with no decision making power, then what are you really accomplishing?

I am quite sure that the fact that they are getting so many requests will travel up higher than the paper handlers. :)

I hope so. Thinking about it some more: I suppose they don't provide an efficient online form for motions to quash, do they?

Pretty spooky. Or maybe the woman just went to his website, and looked at the contact page.

So.. they said please, didn't threaten you, and pointed out a few potential problems with the method you are using (like missing return addresses).

That seems.. helpful?

What's the actual protest? That the paper FOIA requests don't include the required information to honor said request, allowing the NSA to throw out the requests entirely without having to spend time fulfilling them?

Sounds more like the ~~company~~ guy is trying to cover for ~~its~~ his fuckup filling out the forms. It's a much more effective protest to actually make the NSA follow through with the requests.

Edit: Also, from http://www.mynsarecords.com/contact/

    To reach Jon, please e-mail: jcorbett [at] fourtentech.com

Yes, how did they get your email, indeed. Probably some kind of spy technology.

This man is an idiot, please don't fill up HN with this drivel.
