This is a public post of an email exchange I've recently had.
It isn't intended to make the writers feel bad in any way, but simply to be an assurance to me... to assauge my paranoia.
I forgot to say this in the email, but thanks for asking for permission first.

hello,
i'm sorry but
1) I'm too old to be a youth
and
2) I'm averse to any form of exposure.
please do NOT quote my blog or reference it in any form of written publication.
there are various reasons for this, some of which are extremely personal to myself, and some involve another person. I hope you understand.
many thanks.

Once again, thanks in advance for not quoting me in your paper. I wish you both all the best in your research.
