You mean, like you? (What's that you say? "Arne Vajhøj" is your real name? It's just as opaque an identification token to me as if you'd called yourself "Gurmax the Conqueror" or "User23125" -- you have exactly as much, or as little, reputation when I first see your newsposts. So I'd have had the same prior probability distribution regarding your techie expertise with any name you'd used. Higher than average for the wider population, because you a) use usenet and b) post routinely to a comp.* group. Elevated more when I see your posts where you seem to know a fair bit about Java. Somewhat lowered when I see you take a sometimes arrogant and overbearing tone, which may mean you're puffing yourself up some, and lowered further if you make a serious mistake or a particularly silly argument on a technical matter. Quiet, non-overweening confidence without arrogance would have the opposite effect and mistakes are made up for by accurate technical material later (as judged either against superior knowledge, official reference materials, or because when it's tested it works, with the latter being the final court of appeal for either side).) -- Hexapodia is the key insight.
