George Brower

George Brower has found that participating on this wiki is not a good use of his time.

Not so much my own experience, but seeing the amount of hand-wringing about behavior and a few cases of ambush (snotty comments and deletes on pages I visited marked only by IP addresses in the logs). There's good stuff here, but it is like many potentially good but uncontrolled on-line resources - there are way too many externalities (that's economist speak for behaviors whose cost is born by people not directly involved in a transaction - like air and water pollution). There's enough of that stuff that's unavoidable to stick around it voluntarily - a little like wandering barefoot in a chemical dump.

Thanks for your kind words, though.

Additional contributions moved to GeoffBrownWikiExperiences so this HomePage can be left in peace. Please go to the named page if you are not GeorgeBrower, but want to make additional remarks. The change taken here is in response to an observation made later on, see GeoffBrownWikiExperiences.
