Sounds far fetched mate , but you know the drill regarding comms - online and over the air are so easy to intercept in this day and age and any citizens movements can be easily pieced together.
I don't class myself as particularly paranoid but I think it would be foolish to assume that forums and websites like this one are not monitored by various agencies, in fact I would be more suprised if they weren't.
One way that some of the dimmer amongst the local multi cultural jihadists have been caught is by chatting about it on internet forums. I'm sure I read somewhere that members of the security services will join up to sites and forums where they think dodgy stuff is being discussed pretending to be just a normal person and then getting info out of the other users.
I doubt they would be too interested in sites like this one compared to some of the sites around, but it is worth bearing in mind.
