My question was more subtle and knowing Case, err Krim. I know you are (were) two, I was asking if you were three, or four. When your Krim persona turned-up some time ago I noted - and simply assumed therefater - the Neuromancer source of Case. I was just pointing out that the real you and / or the user were a third or possibly fourth persona, to see if he / she / they migt also bite the bait.
Schizophrenia is good, remember. Good of you to point out the multiple persona's for the new folks though. Oh what fun.
