    I don't think I would like FSJ as much if I knew who it was. Owen, if you ever do find out who it is please hide it in the post. :)

    Okay, be honest. Do you think that FSJ is, on balance, a plus or minus for the tech/web community? If you think that he's an overall minus, then I can understand why you want to out him--it would shut him down.

    On the other hand, if like me and apparently thousands of others, you think he makes the web a better (or at least more entertaining) place, then I wonder why you'd sacrifice his blog for a few days of craven self-glorification. I wonder what you see when you look in the mirror, and I wonder if you care whether anyone respects you.

    Sure, you can dismiss such questions with a glib, cynical remark about how it's all in good fun, but at some point you have to ask yourself what you're really trying to accomplish.

    Wow, bloggers whose enthusiasm for real investigative journalism is even less than Valleywag's.
