I will do everything in my power to bring Andy's private and semi-public worlds together and I will NOT REST until I succeed! There's nothing more important to me than unmasking Andy for all the world to see. WHO'S BEHIND THAT CURTAIN? I MUST KNOW!!! This will not stop me.

But I wanted to let you know I would never try to "out" you to the public. I completely respect and understand why you are behind the curtain. I would never want anyone to lose their job because of the free entertainment they provide me. Sorry if it distressed you at all. The secret is safe with me!

I wanted to know because there was a guy who I thought fit. I wanted to see if you were him, and it turns out you weren't. I figured it out, shrugged, and moved on. It's sad that life has to be that way, but it's not up to me to tell anyone what should and should not be secret. The only person I have ever friended anywhere is Tim, because he's public, because he's working on other things, and because it doesn't feel intrusive to do so. Though I haven't done any of the things described in the post, I just wanted to (long-windedly) say that there's nothing to worry about on this end.

There have been a few people over the months who've tried to guess or ask "Is _____ really Andy?" or post links or whatnot. We've poked fun at me being a cypher of sorts, but I think that playfulness made it a game. I just wanted to make this request in order to clarify the situation and perhaps save one or two people the minute it probably takes to track down my tax records, phone number, and dick size (please report it in metric if you are forced to). Oh, and to kill joy, of course, for that is my super power. I may not have been 100% clear: Nobody’s tried to maliciously pull back the curtain.

In fact, I had a concern the other day when a worksafe site at which I use a (slight) pseudonym mentioned my real name (from a donation). All quite innocently meant, but from my real name to the pseudonym I use on that site would be an easy step, and from there, it would be a quick googlestep to other sites I've left comments at under that pseudonym which are, if not quite NSFW (well... probably, based on language), at least not safe to be associated with at my work.

I also work for a large corporation that would probably be very pissed if they knew that I was listening to TANcast at work, even though I work with only one other person (who actually intoduced me to TANcast) in the middle of the night. Podcasts, like yours, are one of the ways that we are able to keep on going come the wee hours of the morning since TV's aren't allowed and radio here blows.
