You never answered the most important part of my question -
why you've, at least twice, announced the likely corporate affiliation
of visitors to your site on this newsgroup.
Frankly, you're never going to get him to admit why he did it.
To the casual observer, there are really only two likely
possibilities, both of which are probably part of it.
One is ego gratification.
The second is promoting his website on the back of the two named
organizations.
Can't see any other reasons. Can you? I'm open to any other
possibilities.
You say you work in a restaurant.
When the food was good, the wine great, the waiter intelligent and
affable the customer is happy, right ?
Did you never feel a kind of ego gratification when the big financial
gratification (pourboire) confirm that you have done a good job ?
If the customer is prestigious and that you or your boss let know around
that X have regular diners in this restaurant do you will feel that it's
an unfair behaviour ?
We have no privacy requirements in the restaurant business.
But our restaurant doesn't publicize our clientele in any case,
forthis very reason.
And, since I occasionally talk about celebrities in my restaurant in
this forum, it's ANOTHER reason why I've never confirmed the identity
*or* named the restaurant that I work in.
You can drive around the issue of privacy all you want. I have to
assume then that you feel privacy on the internet is a trivial matter.
....No, it's a phantasm. :-(
I have seen Arnold's site linked in many audio sites in USA, Europe,
Australia. Audio cards tests and Pcabx are referenced as to be
"interesting" on many specialized sites.
He has done a job which is available *free of charge* on the internet
and people from prestigious companies are interested in his job... No
reasons to kill the dog. This is my point of view.
Arnold job can be compared to free software development, you like you
use, you don't like you forget. In this job pride is the only salary, so
if you refuse them pride...
