may have scared a youtube candid guy off....

So.... the YT user named "John Doe" (I think? There's a million of the same name on there.) Had some FANTASTIC candids of some woman he works with doing fantastic shoeplay...
His last couple were the best, but I noticed he'd left the audio completely in. Clear as day, as they are sitting in her office, he's filming and they're on the phone. Through the course of the video she even leaves a message for someone to call them back, gives the full phone number and extension (!).
I tried to private message him (youtube REALLY has hidden the messaging feature now that they've integrated with Google+), letting him know that he probably should at least mask the audio. I felt it's not the best practice to have info out there to reach these people directly, you know? And I heard no response, and 2 days later, I notice his channel's dropped off the face of the earth.
I guess that's fine, and maybe I was the reason for it, in which case I felt justified in letting him know, because there's a lot of wierd (er?
) people out there who might try to actually call these people at their office....
In short, if you're out there, John Doe... I'm sorry if I scared you off, and I hope you come back and post more content, just without the identifying audio, ya know? You've got a good gig going, and I'd hate for that to fall apart because of some idiot on YouTube (which we've all seen a lot of lately).
