I knew immediately on reading the article that it was about Audiogon.


>Even though this story took place 10 years ago, I won’t be naming the company or anyone involved.

I have never heard of Audiogon, but reading the article I looked forward to my time in the comments section and seeing the mask pulled off. It seems such a naive thing to write for a guy who is clearly not an idiot. So much so that I guess that this line was more like a mandatory disclaimer kind of thing, while not intent at all on keeping things a secret? The company and timing of his employment are on their LinkedIn, which is linked from the article.


I think it's fine. Polite not to "name and shame" the company to a casual reader, but he also shouldn't have to keep his employment history a secret.

We haven't heard who are the Atlanta "Rails-r-Us" company, though it's probably similarly obvious to a motivated researcher.


That company was purchased a few years back fwiw.


It’s not a big deal anymore. Even 10 years later there are still a lot of things that happened that I couldn’t include in the story.

For what is in the story though, it’s not a problem.


It was a great read btw, thanks for sharing it.


Thank you!


Never heard of it. Now I know where to go to get a deal on the “best-sounding non-networked power cables ever”: https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisb2c1j-mit-cables-matrix...
