Let me say that I don't draw attention to the fact to people I meet face-to-
face. I've not yet ended up in a situation where I'd have to make decision
whether to deny it or not.
I guess it's largely due to the "you're such a jerk" reactions I got when I
was younger and would talk more openly of my world-building projects.
