Well, there are only three Github founders, and a quick search seems to indicate that Tom Preston-Werner is the only one with a wife, Theresa: http://techcrunch.com/2013/11/27/omakase-charity-tech-indust...

This gives me the opportunity to say that I thought this guy sounded like a tool during his talk at Startup School.

Great, as if this morning hasn't fulfilled the daily dose of irrelevant, ad-hominem insults.

I've always been suspicious of that guy because of his hyphenated name.

> Tom Preston-Werner is the only one with a wife

This is not true.

My apologies, I clearly didn't search well enough, and in retrospect it probably wasn't even worth saying anyway.

This isn't important.

Why not?

Any guess who this is? “well-liked at GitHub” and “popular in the community.”

This is super screwed up enough, I think we can do without the random guesses, yeah?

not sure whats wrong with guesses specially if there's a disclaimer saying it's his guess, actually...

otherwise, might as well not think of comment at all, since there would be nothing to say. (that goes for many, many other topics)

Guessing could get a random employee at GitHub who is completely innocent targeted with a lot of hatemail he didn't deserve.

Just because someone says "I'm guessing", doesn't mean people wouldn't roll with it.

Don't privilege the hypothesis.
