QUOTE(Deodand @ Fri 21st August 2009, 10:38pm) Ahh, hadn't seen that. A pity to see him go, really, but if he wants to leave, he wants to leave.
Unfortunately for many people, Wikipedia is very much the Hotel California. You can enter, but you can never leave!. Because of that, people here and on Wikipedia tend to be cynical of Wikipedia goodbyes. You pretty much have to be banned and your IP range blocked for an eternity to truly leave Wikipedia. That or grievous injury or death. (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/sad.gif) Hopefully, Law can break the addiction and move on. (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/smile.gif)

Newyorkbrad is a lawyer and Cool Hand Luke is a law student. I don't know about the other arbitrators. Scared yet? Question: How many lawyers can fit at the bottom of the ocean? Answer: Not enough.

Law is not a lawyer. I think he said on his RfA that his username comes from a character in a video game.

You may have noticed that in RL there is something of a recession. Lawyers are employed lots in boom times, where the expenditure on them is worth the value they bring in; busy and rich companies will throw money at litigants to make them go away. Lots of liquidity in the market place allows people to gamble on trying to grab what others are too foolish to lock up. When things go bad nobody wants to spend money on trying to squeeze a bit of cash out of a company that is going belly up. Those foolish with their cash are now holding a whole pile of empty. There are a lot of lawyers with quite a bit of time on their hands, at the moment. Accountants are busy whether or not the economy is doing good or bad - but something like WP provides them with all the safe "risk" that breaks the ennui of their lives... Doctors are fab. If there are any on WP, it is because they are brilliant and want to share.
