And it's okay to hope people will think you're cool because you *are* cool--well, I don't know you personally, but it's cool that people write cool stuff, and readers and other writers-who-are-also-readers enjoy hearing from the person who's thought up that cool stuff.
It's just not cool to have to engage in the whole "I'm your humble servant" thing.
The other thing about the servant schtick is that if one party is there to serve, it implies that the other party is there to *be* served... why not just have it be that all parties are there to enjoy one another's company, network, promote, cheer on friends, squee over people they admire, etc.?
