There are, to my knowledge, two pictures of me on the Internet. Total. Both are at least two decades out of date. I haven’t used my real name in any online context (I started with Fidonet) since the '80s. And while I do leak some information about my whereabouts, good luck finding me in a city that’s bigger than the USA’s top city (and is yet only about #10 in China…).
And why the secrecy?
Well, the time I got a phone call at 2AM from a guy in the USA who was absolutely dead-set on “domming” me in an online RPG game, wanting to take it RL kind of informed me I need to be super-careful about any identifiable information.
