Brian, Thomas,

Instead of pretending that everyone you meet is a member of the wear-hard
list, go straight for what sets nervous public speakers at ease - pretend
everyone's naked.  If the mental image of this isn't quite as convincing as
you'd like, do what I do -- take it a step further: mediated reality! 
Nothing quells the uneasiness of being the only person around with a head
mounted display strapped to his head like being the only person around who's
wearing clothes!  "I may look like a borg, but you're naked!"

In gest,
Jason
