-- As I commented at #29, there are valid uses to such posting info.

You didn't provide support for any valid use in post #29. Try again. And this time, try to be intellectually honest.

Just a hunch of course, based on the fact that most of these 9 to 5 types support bureaucratic institutions .

Do you agree this sometimes seems to be done to silence their competition?
Do you agree this could be seen as abusive?

I see it as a form of whistle blowing on cheating public servants, -- But I could be wrong, of course.

or wasteful of F.R.'s CPU time or bandwidth?

Thats what FR is all about, imo, exposing government cheating, fraud & corruption.. You object?
