This comment turned out to be surprisingly controversial for a pretty obvious joke. I've observed it at +4, down to +1, back up to +3, and now it's at 0! Heh. Didn't mean to rustle jimmies of any NSA contractors that may read HN. I'm sure in real life your rollouts are much smoother than this. :P

I'm sure the NSA employees and contractors are just happy to see non-threatening post about the agency.

The downvotes probably came from people tired of the joke. It is an oft-repeated joke.

Well, I agree it got too much attention, that's for sure.
