If we were really trying to reveal his identity -- which I swear we aren't -- then I'd probably feel the same way. Other than our little IP trick, which was really an afterthought of mischievous (adult) kids, we haven't put any effort or thought into revealing his identity. The revelation of his identity from the Radio Active Code Blog came out of nowhere for us and then it spun out of control from there. However, from an SEO and marketing perspective, the whole thing has been great for us ;) I don’t mind at all.

You know I'm your fan. The fascination with outing FSJ is an obsession with many -- and a natural one. Jon, Sorry to pick on you. You know I’m your fan.

Thanks in part to Radio Active Code Blog and his theory that FSJ is really Bostonian Andy Ihnatko, Mac fan-boys (and fan-men) have been pissed. So much so that we were were referred to as “negative people” by Rex Hammock and iTard (my personal favorite) by Dwight Silverman of the Houston Chronicle.

We were just having some fun and we're actually surprised how much attention this has received. I seriously doubt that his (or her) identity will be figured out from an obscure -- albeit geographically revealing -- IP address. In fact, if we thought that it would have led to the discovery of the "real" FSJ, we probably wouldn't have made it public. We like FSJ too.
