Indeed. But when we forget that, we end up with
Wikipedians
reiterating a robot mantra of, "You're borderline notable,
and that's good enough for us, so deal with it", which Seth
poignantly paraphrases as "You've achieved a few things over
the years, and as a reward, here's your very own troll magnet
to monitor and defend for the rest of your life." (See
[[Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Seth_Finkelstein]].)
Yeah. The living bio patrol doesn't seem to have achieved tremendous
coverage just yet. Tch.
