Are there really admins who don't know who Anthere is?
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..
