I've worked with you, and it was false for me. I concealed it because of social stigma. (Adderall, not modafanil.)

Perhaps you're referring to founders specifically though, rather than people you've worked with.

There's immense pressure to say nothing. And that translates into you not knowing.

But the leap to "It's therefore not common" would be mistaken.

When did you work with me? I have in fact no idea who you are; I assume: under a different name?

(I assume lots of people take adderall, for what it's worth).

[tptacek]

Never mind, I think I worked it out.

[sillysaurus3]

Interesting. I'd be happy to verify if you email me.

[tptacek]

No, that won't be necessary. But you and I never worked together, and I'd appreciate it if you'd be clearer about that in the future.

[sillysaurus3]

I think generating money for you counts as working together.

Maybe your guess is mistaken, or you're trying to get me to reveal more about myself.

[tptacek]

It doesn't, but you've never done that for me either. Helping you get a job at a company I no longer work at doesn't make me a dime.

I'm not guessing; I know who you are. Be pseudonymous or don't, but don't try to have things both ways. If you falsely claim to have worked with me, I'm just going to address you here by your full name.

This thread started creepy and weird and got creepier as it went on, so maybe we should wrap it up now.
