Cue the Luke "I Care" image.

Some would say not wanting to play along with the charade qualifies as caring. If you do, then I care. If you don't, then I don't.

EDIT: Sorry, I was responding to the original question "Who cares?" As for the point, our failure to entertain the ruse will hardly slow this project down. Maybe I've had too many friends ask me to lie for them in the past. It's just not healthy for a community for people to ask that of them.

Are you saying the ruse is that negative1 is no longer a part of the project (I think virtually everyone is in agreement about that...), or that there is indeed mid-to-large size group working on this stuff, rather than just one guy? Aspects of their updates and progress do suggest to me that it's a team.

I'm kind of on the fence about caring about this. On the one hand, I think deception is unnecessary and strange. On the other hand, as far as I can tell it is 100% about privacy concerns and/or paranoia than a need to trick people. As people have pointed out, there is no real privacy when it comes to Disney/law/anyone who cares to really figure it out. But if it's only a silly motive, and not a malicious one, I don't quite see what's offensive about it. Most people would probably be dishonest to received credit for something they haven't done rather than exactly the opposite.
