I'm suddenly reminded of the first time Brian and I spoke... When I first arrived from another site...

He was concerned about this site being infiltrated by bad actors across the WWW, and very insistent upon transparency. He did everything short of asking for my ID and SSN.

At the time I was a bit bewildered. Even insulted. I thought he was paranoid, and possibly had me confused with someone else...

It certainly didn't take me long to understand what he was actually dealing with here...
