Fully accept that it seemingly would be a simple thing to say who it is, but there could be so many reasons for him wishing to stay annonymous currently, be they personal (not wishing for adverse publicity should things not pay off), proffesional (not wishing to lose face for the same reasons) or possibly even legal (ok, bit more pie in the sky there, but still.... possible surely.)
If the guy has what it takes to save us from oblivion and give us the grounding to build for a positive future, I'm more then willing to give him that grace.
