@Andrew Nacin -
What I’m getting at is, even under the widest definition — including people I interact with in the community, ranging from contributors, to forum volunteers, to users I might meet at a WordCamp — I have not heard of a Ted Clayton, I’m afraid.
That's right Andrew. I have no role with WordPress.

I do think that Ted works in some larger organisation because I have experienced how companies and organisations change as they grow.
I've been self-employed for decades, work on my own or sometimes with or for other self-employed people.
