A strange (Java IO) coincidence?

This is kind of an aside and update to my previous post…
I was walking around the office today and I noticed a printed sheet sticking out of a printer that caught my eye. It was a printed version of this page. Look familiar?
Even more of a coincidence, the author of that page is Elliot Rusty Harold who, in addition to writing entire books on the subject of Java IO made himself known to the Ruby community when he more or less sparked the infamous Monkey Knife Fight a while back about Minimal vs. Humane Interfaces, which is the last time I think I had a serious code-related discussion on my blog.
Maybe it isn’t so much coincidence as it is your company spying on its employees “for everyone’s safety”.
Paranoia > Coincidence.
Oh they don’t spy. That implies that we’re not supposed to know that they monitor everything.
They just block sites like GMail, Hotmail and Meebo “for everyone’s safety.”
