A number of people choose not to share this information. Tavmjong Bah, bulia byak, MenTaLguY, ~suv, and others choose to not be openly public about who they are in real life.
I ask that people remain respectful about contributors'/anyone's wishes for privacy.
I'm not saying John is asking for privacy, I don't know how he feels honestly. I'm just saying we need to be respectful of the wishes of others (in some cases, even asking them is crossing a line). John Smith could just be a pseudonym to make him or her harder to identify. (Note: I have no leanings or opinions about John's identity)
Cheers,
Josh

Yes, we know what he did (which is amazing!), but we still don't know
who he is!
Martin, I've been wondering the exact same thing. LinkedIn hasn' t been
very helpful. Where do we send the flowers to?
