Muawiyah, I think you might be interested in this demonstration of the power of metadata. I didn’t want to start a thread, but your kind of thinking made me think of you as I read this:

http://www.hanford.gov/c.cfm/oci/ci_spy.cfm?dossier=54 ~ one of many sources that cover Paul Revere’s collection and usage of colonial metadata. Kept him a step ahead of a resolute and blood thirsty enemy!
“Using Metadata to Find Paul Revere”
Excellent article.
muawiyah has been deluging the threads with his rabid anti-snowden/pro-NSA opinions with quite a fury. I am pretty sure he wouldn’t have liked our Founding Fathers (rebels) very much either. It is pretty clear on which side he would have fought because RED is his favorite color.
You pegged him perfectly.
