Re: Former PDML member hits the headlines
Tim was active on G+ during it's early days when he was still employed at Google. I had one of those "wait a sec, I know that guy" moments. He also has a blog (remember those?) that's worth reading. https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/ On Mon, May 4, 2020 at 5:35 PM Mark Roberts wrote: > Some of you will remember Tim Bray from when he was on the PDML a few > years back and some of us even met him at the PDML Photo Annual > exhibit in Chicago in 2010.

Re: Former PDML member hits the headlines
Years ago I remember Tim posting that he and his wife had decided not to post any photos of their kids online. They felt the kids were too young to give consent. Always had respect for that position—have even more respect for him WRT this recent decision. Go Tim!
