Some clerk browses the internet and you don't want to respect | their privacy because of the IRS? This makes sense how? I suppose that | you're going to dig up information about me and spread it around the | internet because you have issues about the company I work for? 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.
