The losers and wannabes don’t have a clue about the kind of complex programming needed to create a persona like mine and don’t notice the subtle details, of course. All they see is a persona without much flash or glitz, which makes them think I’m no big deal. That’s just fine with me because it means they tend to underestimate me. By the time they get an indication of my real Power, they’re recovering from a dump-shock headache the size of the Denver Front Range Free Zone. The real deckers in the Matrix know how to recognize the subtle cues, so when a persona like mine strolls into a site, it draws attention. Generally there are some newbies in the place who take notice until someone else tells them who and what I am. I admit it—I like generating speculation about who I am and why I’m there. A little mystery can do wonders for the reputation.
