One, presumably Mycroft has better things to do with his time than post on Sherlock and John's websites and figure out the hidden messages. Two, "theimprobableone" seems a bit more of a fan who's never met Sherlock than his brother, and his posts seem to convey a bit more energy than Mycroft would post with. Also, as a government employee, Mycroft would use capitals. Now as for why it's Arsène, Arsène is a thief specializing in seemingly impossible crimes, until the facts are revealed and it turns out that they are merely improbable. It is also far past time that Arsène appear on Sherlock's turf as opposed to the other way around, and it's not like he's got a copyright hanging around his neck anymore either. He also makes comments such as saying John seems stupid and how he can match Sherlock's intellect, which would match John's portrayal in the Arsène Lupin books as really, really stupid (Maurice Leblanc did not seem to like him very much, taking every chance he got to get John out of the picture). But all this is small fry when compared to the fact that [[Rule of Cool|It Would Just Plain Be Awesome]].

* ''Please'' [[So Cool Its Awesome|let this be true]]. A modernized version of Lupin would be epic in numerous ways... mostly [[Master of Disguise|all the new disguises he would not have had access to in the original setting]]. The fact that Holmes (or a [[Captain Ersatz]] depending on the publisher) was used as Lupin's [[Worthy Opponent]] makes this all the more interesting.
