     I often speak in the third person, when I'm using my real name. And when I use the names I've made up, people think I'm talking about other people :P

     "Who's Tobias Mason Park?" They ask.

     "A really awesome guy." I reply.

The nature of the Yeerk population--in book #1, V3 indicates that they'll need to breed more Yeerks to infest all the humans ("With this many hosts we can spread throughout the universe, unstoppable! Billions of us. We'll have to build a thousand new Yeerk Pools just to raise Yeerks for half this number of bodies." p. 36), while in later books, especially the Hork-Bajir Chronicles, it seems that within the Empire you have to be "selected" to infest a host, like there's more Yeerks than there will ever be hosts.

I figured that at the time of the Hork-Bajir Chronicles, the Yeerks hadn't yet discovered Earth, so were in "host shortage" mode.  The Yeerks had never dreamed that there could possibly be a host race which numbers in the billions, so assumed that there would always be more Yeerks then hosts!
