Now you know why some people:
* want outsourced SEO kept confidential.
* use companies to front sites in registries, ad/af accounts.
* use companies or fronted sites to market widgets and apps.
* use nicknames and avatars in public if real names are attached to sites, widgets, etc.
* don't share much.

It has nothing to do with 'hats'.
It has much to do with competitive advantage.
And idjits with foot in mouth disease.
