> Why did this reporter have to go and publish Scott's real name when Scott requested him not to? I thought the NYT held off publishing the original article, and although the article published in the last week did name him, this was only after Scott relaunched his blog under his real name? I know they were threatening to reveal his name prior to this, but in the end Scott revealed his own identity first.
