disagree. Saying I was the author AND I wrote programming articles was important to display my history of writing 'hacker news'. I can't see how you think it was self-promotion knowing this.
Speaking of self-promotion, did you really take 6 different shirts to a headshot shoot (http://www.flickr.com/photos/sandofsky/page5/)? And you call yourself a Boston-man! Haha, good luck to you in the future.
I believe you have problems if your response to criticism is to Google the critic and try to come up with personal information.
A typical headshot session lasts a few hours, involves several outfits, and results in several hundred photos which you progressively narrow down. I used that Flickr set to solicit feedback on potential picks.
I didn't link to that anywhere in my profile, or on my personal site. Your behavior is childish, bordering on creepy.
You should consider how this makes you look. I don't think people would take you seriously after reading this.
You criticism of self-promotion couldn't have been further off, which pissed me off something fierce. I guess I forgot the oldest mantra in the book, however: 'haters gonna hate.'
