He keeps calling him Jonathan all the time, but it's not at all sure that's his real name (see: http://ozmm.org/posts/his_name_is_robert_paulson.html http://ozmm.org/posts/his_name_is_robert_paulson.html). And even if it is, it's kind of a dick thing to do, given that we know that _why never wanted to be known as anything but _why.

  No, it's pretty obvious that they were close friends and coworkers, but not the same person.

    I'm starting to sympathize with http://xkcd.com/386/ http://xkcd.com/386/ more and more. I wish I could just stop doing this already. Umm, ok, let's recap, shall we?: 1) His sister. This ( http://www.advogato.org/person/whytheluckystiff/diary/14.html http://www.advogato.org/person/whytheluckystiff/diary/14.htm... ) says she was 14 in 2001. That makes her ~21 today. "Jonathan Gillette from Utah" has "Kristin Gillete" listed as a relative here: http://www.intelius.com/search-summary-out.php?ReportType=1&qf=jonathan&qmi=&qn=gillette&qs=UT&trackit=74&focusfirst=1 http://www.intelius.com/search-summary-out.php?ReportType=1&... . She's 21. 2) His wife.

She makes jewelry, and has a site hosted by _why: http://74.125.93.132/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=cache:snapd.net&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 http://74.125.93.132/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=c... 3) His band.

He plays in a band called (both) "Starving but Happy" and "The Child Who Was A Keyhole". See http://www.myspace.com/thechildwhowasakeyhole http://www.myspace.com/thechildwhowasakeyhole .

If he is just close friends with Jonathan Gillette, it's apparently to the point that it didn't seem relevant to point out that he was producing the audio clips for the site. Open dolphins.ram in pretty much any media player and you'll see "Jonathan Gillette" as its author. 6) Why did jgillette make several very informed posts to ruby-talk, then completely quit developing ruby (apparently...)?
