Sorry, it's pretty ridiculous that the author chose to write all that and engage in correspondence without mentioning the elephant in the room either to the photographer, or to the reader (us) in this write-up. The elephant in the room is that haxx.se is a tongue-in-cheek name (or a coincidence.)
Would it have killed him to mention this?
"Dear Photographer Lady: I run a very well-regarded library, you may have had this reaction because I have the tongue-in-cheek name haxx.se [alternatively: because of the coincident name haxx], however I am a well-paid consultant similar to yourself and other than this choice of domain name there is nothing alarming. The library is famous and you should see a similar notice in all of your friend's phones (or anyone else's you check). It is in use by major corporations including Apple and Spotify. Sorry about the confusion."
that's literally all this is about. (obviously.)
In fact, it makes me seriously question the author's good faith that he ends with the call-to-action "I’ve tried to respond with calm and clear reasonable logic and technical details on why she’s seeing my name there. That clearly failed. What do I try next?" without mentioning the elephant in the room.
