It's possible he deleted his post because he realized that he included something in it that could identify him, which could be bad for his career.

It might have been better to rewrite his post into your own words, and take out some of the unnecessary detail, rather than literally repost.

I'd agree. I know the OP is trying to spread knowledge and this is a great read, but I think this was slightly rude, not to mention questionable fair use.

  • There's no "fair use" argument at all. Copying an entire work, then distributing it with no transformative change or criticism, is inexcusable infringement should the author want to enforce his rights.
