A similar thing happened to me a few years ago when I made an uncomplimentary remark about the IRS in a Usenet post. Apparently the IRS has its own police force that handles public remarks made about it in the way that the Secret Service handles actual threats against the president.

I never assume my UseNet posts, email messages, and posts to dicussion groups are not being read by someone. I think even one key word can trip a reading. In turn, that reading can trip more.
I don't want any problems with the government, so I leave them alone. It's a no-winner, even when you are completely innocent and well-intentioned.
