I'm sure looking at the survey, you must be able to pick out my entry. I do not recall saying anything that I've not at least implied before publicly. I was well aware that I could probably be identified when I wrote the comments. If people can be identified by * An unusual choice of operating system * Exact location - I see nothing wrong with unspecific locations myself. * Detailed research interests then it would probably not be difficult for others to work out who the comments came from. I doubt I could personally determine anyone from their research interests, but I'm sure others could. It might be better for the *next* survey to have two comments areas. * Confidential - shared with you and William only. * Public - someone does not care if the comments are made public, even if they may be identified from them. -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
