Lack of self-confidence if you ask me.

How do you figure? Every time I've been asked for a bio for a conference or similar, they've asked for it in third person. Reading bios in conference proceeding in first person would just come across as weird to me.

The difference is having a bio on a website about yourself versus a bio on a website about a lot of people. No one thinks that your johndoe.com site was made by your official fan club.

You really named your user account after WHAM!? That's fucking awesome. Tell me you're either George Michael or Andrew Ridgey in deep disguise... please please.

Just another jitterbug, but you gotta have faith that I'm once bitten and twice shy.
