tineye max! hannibal, so give points if you want or not. And apparently someone found my identity. Now, if I pretend that I am the RF you speak of, I can continue by accepting it as a "fact". 2 propositions :
(a) I'm RF. I would continue denying it in real life if I had any sense, thereby adding to your conviction that my real identity is really RF.
(b) I'm not RF. In real life, RF would still keep denying it, but I would continue claiming I was RF, thereby effectively drawing attention away from me, the true anonymous quizzer, to some poor chap who has no clue abou the accusations.

As you can see, the optimal path for me would be to claim that I am RF, thereby ending speculation in the cyber world and allowing me, the cyber self, to continue what I love doing without any fear, for any discovery that has to be made has already been made: It is therefore a recursive problem to figure out my real identity.

To sum it all up, I am who you want me to be.
