I thought reaching out to Bruce would be a good idea --> http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3603.0

I think he's the type to embrace, and provide thoughtful insight on bitcoin.  He did write Applied Cryptography (crypto bible)  --> http://www.schneier.com/book-applied.html

I used his above book for creating a series of public key cryptography java objects back in the university days (before java offered a crypto class).

Bruce strikes me as the type to question the status quo.  Search for Bruce Schneier and tsa on youtube.

Bruce is too busy and too public to be Satoshi. Bruce has just too much going on in his life to have the time to come up with groundbreaking cryptocurrency systems  ;D

I sent Bruce an email about Bitcoin back in September.  If he reads his email, he is aware of Bitcoin.  I never had any response.

Don't be so sure about that, Satoshi hasn't been very involved for months.
