|It _sounds_ like you're trying to spy anonymously on people.  If that's

|you're doing something legitimate, I would like to know what it is.

	It _sounds_ like *you* have an insufferably suspicious
	disposition. It is common courtesy to give the benefit
	of the doubt in this situation - "innocent until proven
	guilty" probably applies here, at least informally.

	He's under no obligation to say why he needs this -
	one can imagine quite a number of legitimate scenarios.
	You're out of line to prod him this way, especially in
	a public forum, unless you have clear grounds for your
	insinuations. Your demand for disclosure is in itself
	an insult, even when taken separately from your other
	statements.
