IN RESPONSE TO MY EARLIER POST ON THE POPULAR MECHANICS PIECE ABOUT HOW PRISM MAY HARM U.S. INTERNET COMPANIES, reader Christopher Dillon writes:

I am a long-time reader and the person who Derene describes in his post: I am a Canadian running a business in Hong Kong. I use nearly all of the American companies named in this scandal and several of my websites are hosted in the United States.

You can bet that I am reconsidering those decisions

Feel free to use my name.

I would reconsider, too. Of course, maybe Obama doesn’t care if it hurts U.S. Internet companies.
