Yes.
Very likely yes.
I know of many non-english editors who have absolutely no idea who
Jimbo is :-) So, yes.
Steve, I am a very dangerous dissident. Beware.
Amongst my crimes, I am french (which in itself is a crime for some
editors, or a quality for others :-)).
Another crime is that my english is far from perfect, which sometimes
lead me to make strange statements, which might be shocking to some
(or making their day...).
Another crime is that I love arguing. A worse one is that I tend to
take things personally.
Also, I tried to keep the recipees in the english encyclopedia...
I put 5 images or so under fair use, thus threatening the project in
its whole.
<small>I use powerpoint, word and excel at home</small> (which was
very strongly criticized by a few at Wikimania...)
I was blocked once by Jimbo in a 142 issue (granted, the situation was
quite confused...).
I have been called a vandal by RK (where is RK by the way ?).
Now that I think about it, Mav also called me a vandal once, because I
was working on an old computer with an old system, and I was all the
time breaking special caracters and pages over 32 k... My technical
inability is great.
If you are a dangerous admin, I will unsysop you :-) Especially under
PMS situation.
Another crime is that I do consider Jimbo as a human being much more
than a king. So, in spite of great respect for him, and long term
appreciation to him for having changed my life, and much dedication to
him as well, I also dare tell him when he is wrong and when he should
get out of the way. So to speak.
Other than that, I am 37, straight married female, 2 kids and pregnant
(which might save admins).
Uh, and yes, I joined the project in feb 2002, so rules have changed a
lot since then..
You forgot to mention your sense of humour, which is always a useful
suppository when dealing with anal people.
