First off, I was being somewhat sarcastic, as you might have
noticed from several things, not the least of which was the phrase
'sarcasm aside.'
That said, why should I respect the privacy of government
employees? There is a substantial difference between government and
private companies, in that I am not compelled in any way to do
business any private company.
