[[[ To any NSA and FBI agents reading my email: please consider    ]]]
[[[ whether defending the US Constitution against all enemies,     ]]]
[[[ foreign or domestic, requires you to follow Snowden's example. ]]]

The locution "your pet XYZ" is somewhat dismissive and disparaging.
It means, "The XYZ that you fuss over so much for no objective
reason."

I'm sure you didn't mean it that way, and it isn't a big deal.
But since the question has come up, I'd like to make people
aware of this.
