This is pretty evident in your posts, which invariably involve some mention of Jimmy Wales, Wikivoices, or Wikipedia Review (the first two being examples of obsessiveness and the great wrongs you've been subjected to, respectively). Perhaps I'm on the outskirts of public opinion and others don't mind. For me, though, it's all become very dull and a bit irritating.
I could take four minutes and find ten recent threads I've started that have nothing to do with Jimmy Wales, Wikivoices, or Wikipedia Review... but, instead of me doing that, MZ... why don't you show us your best 5 started threads of 2010 -- any subject, no restrictions.

Really? — a whole durn 1¼ inches !!!

Here's a hint — if you punch [ctrl +] a few times it might be more intimidating.

Well, in your own mind …

McBride! All this time I thought your avatar was one horribly ugly fish, supporting himself on his two pectoral fins.

Man, I've done too much scuba. Too many frogfish, too many drumfish. Too many lionfish.

Strikes me as an obvious metaphor about filial imprinting as studied by Konrad Lorenz.

Pretty geese all in a row, oh, oh... (take it away)

More significantly, unless the WMF job he just took is some sort of part-time/temporary deal, it could mean that he's not counting on finding a job in academia within his field (which, to be fair, is not one that most colleges and universities are likely to have secure slots for).


That's pretty smart of him, to be honest. Only 20% of those with doctorates in English ever get tenure-track jobs, according to The Modern Language Association. I imagine that history is much the same.
