Removal Of Followers

1.  We have deleted all Followers of the blog.

2.  Readers will recall that there was an image gallery of Followers.  Several used their real names and face pics. We appreciate their courage in visibly following this blog for several years.

3.  It came to our attention that other Followers who, for privacy reasons, did not upload their real face pics (regardless of the name they used), may have been revealed (or may be at risk of being revealed) - without their consent -  as Followers of this blog via other social media sites to which they signed up and on which they uploaded their real face pics.

4.  Since these other social media sites:

• have murky Privacy Policies;
• use algorithms whose trawling methodology is not disclosed;
• offer unconvincing or evasive answers when questioned about non-consensual cross-referencing of a person's online identities which matches face pics, real names, pseudonyms and locations;

effective as of 12 October 2017, we have deleted all images of Followers of this blog.  It is our contribution to the privacy of those who wish to keep their real identities as well as their private and professional lives, separate.

Thank you
