   @geniusmusing @musicman That is probably the one.
   
   The context: someone on Diaspora claimed I worked for TAO, and that I'm responsible for drone attacks on Middle Eastern civilians.

     Is there some military or spy agency that goes by "TAO"?
     
     I know "track at once" from burning CDs, but not an agency name.

     it's a Chinese word. What's the context?

     what made them think that?

     @musicman Fuzzy memories, I'd guess. The person claimed to remember me from #Identica, but I don't know what I could have posted that gave them that impression.
     
     I've always been pretty quiet about work because #EMPLOYER thinks that people will believe they endorse anything I post. (I think most people are not quite that foolish, but it only takes one person to confirm it in their eyes.)

     perhaps not here, but people are dumb.
