Why are all posts by “Infidel”? “Infidel” is a pseudonym I have used online for the last decade. Its choice refers to my sense of place in the world, particularly the tech world. I am also known as various forms of “Flash” for possibly more obvious reasons and even use my own name sometimes(!). Occasionally these pseudonyms seem a little adolescent, but they seem far better than many others I have seen and I have felt, and still do, that a certain amount of separation/anonymity is appropriate for the big bad wasteland that is the internet. Incidentally, it’d be nice to have the net back when all you annoying normal people have had enough of it. Thanks.
