Why are people whose last names end in -owden so attuned to privacy issues and fairness?
The sample size is 2 so I'm being facetious, but it's interesting that "ouden" is (ancient) Greek for "nobody" which if I remember correctly is what the Cyclops says their name is, in order not to identify himself.
(I botched that story but someone more knowledgeable might fill in the gaps).
