We wouldn't agree to all our mail that receive and send being opened by the Post Office, and all information therein being recorded. It would be an invasion of privacy.

As for GCHQ paying any attention to this site, I don't know for sure but I think GCHQ's remit is foreign communications. Not keeping tabs on discussion groups and during like this one.
