@Jeff  - nice post
You said "They analyze his posting dates, trying to guess his local time zone. It's all part of the fun."
Do you have a theory as to who he is?

No.

It is most likely not any of the dev team, based on in-person chats and observation of code.

I want him/her to stay anonymous.

It was probably the best thing that Satoshi disappeared, because right now anyone pissed off about bitcoin would be trying to dig up dirt on the individuals involved, no matter how minor.

I also think that anyone trying to "piece it together" and posting the result is either a complete idiot, or horrifically naive.
