Intriguing, actual paraphrasing here of a US "The Surgeon General"? I can imagine it is something someone in high office might say.
The Surgeon General is someone who issues national health recommendations. The implication of Eliezer's post is that discussing criminal activity may be hazardous to your health.
We have a The Surgeon General, but he recommends things about smoking and whatnot; I'm pretty sure he doesn't issue warnings about mailing lists.
