[QUOTE="Janx, post: 6272954, member: 8835"] It's a too way street. I agree, photos of the guy and his house ought to be off-limits without his consent. But the guy wrote an important (to some) paper/specification and used his real name, and then acts like his privacy is so important (in that very community no less). If he was such a privacy nut, he should have actually used a fake name instead of his real name. Then, and this drives me nuts when my wife does it, by making a further big deal of not wanting to answer questions, etc, it only further raises curiosity. How hard would it have been to say "yeah, I wrote the original code and article, but I've moved on from that, and a lot of other people have advanced the project much further. There's the real story. Have a good day." A polite but limited interview probably would have solved the problem. But as his brother described in in the article, his personility may have brought this on himself. [/QUOTE]
