In case you didn't think the Government was watching you...

Today, I received a call regarding the GodNet.  This call came from a
government agent working in conjunction with the FBI as part of the ongoing
investigation connected to David Koresh and the Branch Davidians.

Somewhat humorously, the Government seemed to believe that the GodNet was
an entire, real computer network, perhaps run by Religious Fanatics.  In fact,
the agent hinted that in "commentary" about the GN he had seen included 
references to "fanatics", "the One True God", "the True Pope", and "the 
Anti-Christ."

When I first tried to explain the it was game, the agent seemed confused.  
However, I think he eventually understood and our conversation ended.

He never explained how the Government had learned of the GodNet.

However, since the interview was entirely by phone, and not in person, I 
assume that, fortunately, They were only exploring all possible 
connections to the Branch Davidians.  My guess is that They have flagged all
recent Internet traffic with the word "GOD" in it and were slowly processing
all these "leads."

Just an interesting anecdote.
