Really, Bob??
I never considered "obfuscate" to rest among the most arcane reaches of my, or most anyone else's, vocabulary.
I gonna guess that most who read the post got that I generally meant "make obscure". (And for those who didn't, if they googled a dictionary to learn a new word, I don't think that's such a bad thing.)
So why didn't I just say "obscure"? Because the primary implication of "obfuscate" is "to confuse", something that "obscure" doesn't directly communicate.
