Stranger: hello world
You: That's right, I'm on to you.
Stranger: oh shit
You: You're the one person on the internet.
You: The one person writing all the tweets, sending all the spam, and updating your Twilight fanfic every evening at 6 PM sharp.
Stranger: oh shit how did u know
Stranger: ive been caught
You: That's right. You thought you could keep it going forever, but I've found you.
Stranger:
You: So, how'd you do it? Release the endless stream of data, that is?
You: Sure, there's a handful of real people out there, but you're still producing 99% of the content.
You: So how do you pull it off?
Stranger: I have several computers
You: How does single-handedly running the internet affect your sleeping habits?!?
You: You must have caffeine on intravenous drip or something.
Stranger: im tired
Stranger: yes.
Stranger: anand speed
You: Anyway, I've found conclusive evidence.
You: I'll save it for the trial, but you don't have much longer.
Stranger: how?
Stranger:
Stranger: this is awful
You: And you thought running the conspiracy sites about yourself would keep people from believing it, "Mr. Internet"!
You: Hell yes it's awful. Awful for you. Awful for the people of Earth.
Stranger: youre too smart for me
You: Awful for all the people who are going to have to find out that their porn is one person with several body suits and high-tech green screen technology.
Stranger: HAHAHa
Stranger: brilliant
Stranger: you are funny
You: Awful for all the people who assumed that Randall Munroe is also Jeph Jacques is also Rich Burlew.
Stranger: /????
Stranger: I dont have time for this tomfoolery
You: Awful for all the people who send Pete Cashmore emails letting him know what Facebook is telling them today.
Stranger: I have serious internetting to do
You: You can end this now.
Stranger: How
You: I will shut up about this if you end P.E.W.

You: Do you believe in precognition?
Stranger: Nope.
You: See, me neither, but
You: this past week has been wierd.
You: I don;t know if it's supernatural, or im really observant, but
You: I react to things before they happen.
You: How crazy am I?
Stranger: its probably reactions to subconscious knowledge
You: Could be.
You: It comes like a realization, like
You: "they are going to ask me a question right now."
You: without any obvious hints.
You: but its been happening all week
Stranger: it's probably stuff like microexpressions if it happens durring conversation
You: Except i don't look at people's faces often
You: maybe subtle conversation cues?
You: man i don't know
Stranger: you don't really have to be watching for preripheral vision to pick stuff up
Stranger: i know ive done things like caught something someone tossed to me without realizing that I had done it, or that they had thrown it
You: I guess our subconscioussnesses are pretty smart
You: i don't know how to spell that.
You: but if i can keep this up, it will be a really useful tool

Needless to say I'm feeling some shame, embarrassment, and contrition. Simply letting it drop is an option, but given what I think is a reasonable application of a duly contextualized ethic of reciprocity, it seems to me that the honorable thing to do is to give a thoroughly truthful account of who I am (accompanied of course by an explanation of the conceit and its motivation). A formal apology to humanity for any undeserved scorn is also forthcoming.
Do you have any feelings about this matter, Internet? Do you think that this is the most reasonable way to satisfactorily resolve it? Or can you think of some superior course of action?
