[edit] ancient stuff (from 2001)

I tend to edit computer science articles a lot; I've been working on algorithm lately.

I really like Wikipedia. I've written a bunch of computer-science articles for it.

I'm worried about the stuff The Cunctator brings up about the GFDL, although I wish he would be more polite about it.

Welcome aboard Kragen. We'll probably find common ground as I'm also interested in computer science. I hope you enjoy yourself as much as we do! --Seb

Yes, welcome, Kragen! I think you have very little reason to be worried, and I'd like to urge you please to join Wikipedia-L where the relevant issues have been discussed (in many cases, by heads cooler and more mature than The Cunctator's) and will be discussed fairly reasonably and amicably. --LMS

Thanks. I've been reading the Wikipedia-L archives and considering joining. -- Kragen
