can we just leave the guy alone and let him enjoy his anonymity and peace?

This really got to me. It is about time someone said it. Satoshi will never back and doesn't care for whatever conversation we have about him. He has probably moved on to some other important stuff. In my estimation, the dude just wants to be let alone for now and I think we should. But I don't think that will happen. Every now and there someone will bring up a conversation about it, I guess it is something that we will have to deal with.
