i was never intending to offend ANYBODY! but if the board and the powers that be see any privacy potentially violated with this thread, i will respect this. on the other hand: in that case there'd be quite some more threads here that should be questioned - for my money, that is!
i can only hope matters are cleared out hereby. 
all the best to all of you

No worries, Martin - you certainly didn't offend me and you're not violating anyone's privacy by bringing up this discussion. I just have a disagreement and maybe it's a misunderstanding as you say. But I figured that if this woman told Martin Celmins that she did not want to be identified in his book, then she wants to retain her privacy. It makes no difference to me whether I know her name or not, but I suppose others may feel differently.
