I can say that pj has always been protective of her privacy, even when Groklaw was essentially focused only on the SCO vs. IBM drama playing out. She's also a paralegal by training with a tech interest (which explains her comments about the rule of law), but she was not necessarily an expert in technical infrastructure, protocols, etc. Typically she relied on experts and other collaborators for things which needed a hefty dose of technical know-how on her site. So with that in mind I was quite shocked to read this morning that pj has abandoned the site, for the reasons you mention. But I can say that from what I've read of her over the years (I've had Groklaw on RSS for years now), it does kind of make sense if you look at it from her worldview; she values her privacy, geeks everywhere are saying that the NSA is literally reading every piece of mail sent by anyone to anyone, and the result is then not completely surprising...
