is inactive if they aren't being public?

Do you seriously believe for a single minute that the Wanderer is honestly
inactive? Be it training, or merely making kills in a non-signature style,
I seriously doubt the man, the myth, the legend has been inactive.

Frag it all, I should know being that I'm a myth, a legend, and a squeaky
voice.]<<<<<

people are the ones you don't see wasting their time blabbing to a
(semi-)public node. I mean, the chit-chat is all well and good to keep
your name out there among your adoring public, but if you're busy in
here, you're not busy out there. Well, those of you that aren't my
fellow deck-heads, anyway. At least most of the people who actually
come around here have figured out not to brag about their exploits. Too
easy for the "public" members of the law&order crowd, or any of their
enemies lurking about to get the right information to the right people
and get themselves taken down. A little cyber-Darwinism in action if
you ask me.

But that's just my two yen on the matter.]<<<<<
