Could someone elaborate on the significance of this?



There isn't anything significant about this, except that STRATFOR is disliked by some people in the various technical communities.

But, in fact, STRATFOR wears several hats, some I find good and some I find less than tasteful. This doesn't implicate Alexis in any unethical activities imho.


There is none based on the evidence presented. The implication is that because Ohanian met with Stratfor, reddit may be compromised and feeding back intel to Stratfor and its partners. There is absolutely zero intimation of anything like this in the mail chain posted except the fact that Ohanian met with someone who works at Stratfor.

This is the type of invalid extrapolation everyone is worried the NSA will make since they have access to our mail. Let's try to remain calm here.
