I kind of agree, but would like to note that Paul's address is freely
available on the synthtech web page, visible to anyone, and has been
for years. And his phone number has been freely available - personally
I don't know how he deals with that, but I guess he does.
And our addresses are all available to him. Relatedly, I checked
recently, and my home address is also available on the web, and you
can find my house also using google maps streetview, although you
won't see much.
I think my point is, if you're going to lead any kind of online life,
you've got to be careful to be polite enough to not awake the
interests of any wack jobs that are out there. I strongly doubt that
Paul's little side business is going to arouse the interest of any
weirdos. And Kenneth's just posting information that's freely
available to anyone who'd be interested is seeing it anyway.
