I knew immediately on reading the article that it was about Audiogon.

  >Even though this story took place 10 years ago, I won’t be naming the company or anyone involved. I have never heard of Audiogon, but reading the article I looked forward to my time in the comments section and seeing the mask pulled off. It seems such a naive thing to write for a guy who is clearly not an idiot. So much so that I guess that this line was more like a mandatory disclaimer kind of thing, while not intent at all on keeping things a secret? The company and timing of his employment are on their LinkedIn, which is linked from the article.

    I think it's fine. Polite not to "name and shame" the company to a casual reader, but he also shouldn't have to keep his employment history a secret. We haven't heard who are the Atlanta "Rails-r-Us" company, though it's probably similarly obvious to a motivated researcher.

      That company was purchased a few years back fwiw.

    It’s not a big deal anymore. Even 10 years later there are still a lot of things that happened that I couldn’t include in the story. For what is in the story though, it’s not a problem.

  Never heard of it. Now I know where to go to get a deal on the “best-sounding non-networked power cables ever”: https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisb2c1j-mit-cables-matrix-ac-u-rev-power-cable-2m-ac-cables https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisb2c1j-mit-cables-matrix...
