It would apear your expectations are wildly different from
mine. Given the figure of the number of people in defence and
information techni=ology fieilds in the US, and the number of US
based DD's whoi have ever been in Debian since the inception of the
project; the expectation of having a compromising post being known to
a potential employer is of the order or one in 5000 to one in 10000,
computing very conservatively.
Seems like pretty darn decent numbers to me, compared to the
alternative of making the psot available where any Tom, Dick, or
Harry can just enter my name in google and get a hit.
