[edit] Semi-Retired

After much thought, I have tacked up a semi-retired banner. The fact is, I haven't been around much for a while. Let me be clear: I do, in fact, believe that wikipedia works. The idea of collecting our knowledge and working together is a good thing, and there are many wonderfully written & informative articles here. However, my time is very limited, and folks who take this far too seriously have taken some of the fun out of this hobby for me. I may pop in from time to time. Until then, happy editing.
