You underestimate yourself. While you're no charismatic hero by any
stretch of imagination, you do carry quite some weight in what you say
simply by your history of achievements, as well as your technical
expertise and wealth of experience in computer-related issues. It's no
surprise that in this crowd full of like-minded nerds who respect
technical expertise, you're doing none too badly.  It might be a
completely different story if you were in a more "typical" social
setting, though. :-P
