  • DISCLAIMER: I am NOT a sockpuppet of User:Baudoin who operates from one of my usual IPs - Baudoin is my spouse. Although we share some interests, we promise not to be each other's sockpuppets.

Hates: cavillers, petty bureaucracy, "We've always done it this way", people who love to pick nits but never actually do any work themselves....

Favorite commercial slogan: Just Do It (tm)

My Babel entries are basic - didn't bother to enter other germanic & slavic languages in which I have basic or working knowledge, as it would start to get silly...

Please note - my reasons for editing -

  • sometimes for the purpose of maintaining language skills,
  • sometimes because I have some interest,
  • sometimes because the subject intrigues me,
  • sometimes because I happen to spot something that needs fixing *anywhere*,
  • sometimes because I have some expertise,
  • never because that's necessarily my political/social POV,
  • sometimes because its challenging to NPOV something I find difficult.
