Maybe so, but I do contribute some of my valuable free time to keeping
Wikipedia ticking, on top of a an ungodly huge family, full time job, and a
career as an artist, so your general comment does not apply to me
specifically.  So what's the point when it doesn't answer me or the
comment?  To disparage those who cannot devote huge amounts of time solely
to Wikipedia?

Wikipedia cannot be what it is intended to be if designed only for those
with plenty of free time to devote to keeping Wikipedia ticking, because
that's not anyone, that's just a little bit of the anyone who could possibly
be editing Wikipedia.
