I totally agree. I was kind of hoping the authors name would be in the source (http://mta.me/js-conductor/ http://mta.me/js-conductor/) but no such luck. It is pretty interesting code to read through though.

  Don't you think that posting that is a bit rude? Yeah, you could look my address up in the phone book, but I generally don't go signing my posts on reddit with it.

    I honestly don't. The question arose as to the identity of the author. It is only a $ whois mta.me away. I saved other the trouble, just like the sister post linked to his blog. If this offends you, I apologize.

    I've honestly never understood this mindset, and this isn't the first time I've seen it. I'm willing to learn if someone is willing to explain it to me. The information is there, but please don't share it visibly. Make people look for it! It makes shockingly little sense.

      One practical explanation is that it simply hides the information from "nefarious" elements (e.g., spam bots, etc.) that only have the sophistication to pull low hanging fruit. Somewhat related: I loaded your profile and then to your linked site[1]. I notice that you don't post your email address anywhere I saw. Is there a reason? I bet it's listed somewhere publicly (and that I could find it if I looked hard enough), but it might feel better to have it somewhat less public. Privacy issues are tough to compare between people. Each person has a different, often inconsistent, scale. And the metric of choice seems to be how "slimy" something feels. [1] Also, it may be interesting to note that I actually felt a little uncomfortable even doing that, in order to look for a counterexample to reply to your post with. To me, it felt like it could appear somewhat unnecessary. If it does, I apologize. So it's obvious that my personal scale might be a bit on the touchy side. edit, formatting

        Posterous enforces http:// http:// on related links on the left. It wasn't that I wanted to hide my e-mail, but more that I never felt like throwing it over there since it required editing the HTML. Since you mentioned it, though, I took the opportunity to add it and do the Google Fonts changes I've been itching to try out. Thanks for the impetus.
