Bob Dylan and Close Encounters of the Pynchon kind.

[mikebailey]

Client-confidentiality.  Interacting in a work capacity.

If Pynchon hired an architect to
build him a radio shack in New Orleans, I wonder how much
that person would tell on this list.

In my own case, if his phone went out, and I tested the line
and had to call him with the resolution, and something about
my voice and responsive manner triggered a long soliloquy
on his part (it's been known to happen),
I think I might mention the fact of the conversation
on list, but not much of the substance...
"I could lose my job" type of thing; but also basic
politeness...even w/r/t non-reclusive customers
