Hi and welcome - funny nick you chose - immediately reminded me of Ender, though it has been many years since I read thoose books.
So inspired by Orson Scott Card are we?

Well through his books (Ender series) Demosthenes was a pseuodonym that Enders brother was using to post and affect public oppinion.....
I hope you don't see yourself as a manipulator of oppinion.

Quote:

In his ever so famous Ender's Game book seriesOrson Scott Card creates his own version of the Internet, several years before it's movement from ARPA, Universities, and Big Business to the rest of us.
In his conception there are e-mail, Usenet, and later philotics giving birth to the ansible. The first real use of this Internet is by Valentine and Peter Wiggen who borrow their fathers account to not be represented by children on a sort of Usenet. They later move on to get their own aliases as Demostenes and Locke. This Usenet is highly moderated with accounts having ages and levels of access assigned to them. Through the false identities the children give political messages, create a movement, and eventually rule the Universe as the Hegemon. ....

If your nick is not a reference to this - perhaps you should change it?
