There are lots more stories, but I'm supposed to be reasonably professional, and not get sued, 'n' stuff.

I'm perplexed by your background by the way. Are you a quant who got into sales or something?

Yes, that is a problem with attaching your name or identifying information to a weblog. For that same reason, I am quite happy to leave people mystified over my background. This is a personal blog, not a professional one, so I like some level of anonymity. The level of disclosure is a real conundrum. On one hand it is nice to be open about who I am and publicly discuss my thoughts on various issues. On the other hand, I have to be doubly cautious about what I write because of the possible repercussions, the Internet being what it is.
