- I am "the company guy" / "idiot"

- Forms were generated via script, so no "fucking up filling out forms" (by me, anyway)

- A few people entered incomplete addresses, but I sent them anyway because I thought the address was sufficient to reach them (for example, missing city but valid ZIP)

- 95% of the forms I sent had full, valid addresses

- The NSA wasn't provided with my Web site, so in order to get the e-mail, they had to stalk that down first

I Googled the address you list on your website. Your name comes up. Googling your name reveals your blog.

Your blog links to the mynsarecords website.

Took me 2 minutes.

Edit: I'm not as quick as pavs though, it only took him 30s:

Also, people who submitted obviously invalid addresses were contacted by e-mail and allowed to re-submit. Pretty stupid, right? ;)

It just explains the part of the NSA's letter to you where you pretended like they lied or were being misleading.

Turns out, you were being misleading, not them.

What are you smoking? Go back through my comments and point to one where I suggested that the NSA's e-mail to me was a lie. At most, I suggested it was an exaggeration since they said "many" of the requests had invalid addresses, while I contend that it was less than 5%.
