• I'm a Canadian...therefore you must like me.
• My favorite quote was uttered by Norm on the TV show Cheers: "It's a dog-eat-dog world, and I'm wearing Milk-Bone underwear."
• Callipygian is my favorite word (who thinks up these things?).
• Most beloved movie of all time? Casablanca, hands down.

With the coming of the Internet, many eyes turned hopefully, or desperately, toward the freedom of Wikipedia. en.wikipedia.org became the great embarkation point. But, not everybody could get to it with a high-speed connection, and so a tortuous, roundabout trail sprang up, by dial-up. Here, the fortunate ones through money, or influence, or luck, might break their addiction and scurry back to the Real World. But the others edit in Wikipedia... and edit... and edit... and edit.

• My lifelong ambition is to be accepted into Densa. No luck so far...
• I do not suffer from Witzelsucht, though it may appear at times that I do, for example here and here (the space elevator is sometimes nicknamed the "beanstalk").
• The person I admire the most is Raoul Wallenberg. His deeds speak for themselves.
• For Star Trek and specifically Worf fans: Today is a good day to edit.
• Philosophically, I'm a "minist" ("minimalist" has too many letters).
• Oldest number one hit song: "In the Good Old Sumer Time"?

My major contributions by category, mostly describing, enlarging and correcting the plots, are:

My most edited article (290+) is Casablanca. I wasn't able to contribute as much material as I would have liked (1,000,000,000,000,000 other people got there first), but I have rewritten sizable portions of it to improve the style.
