This illustrates a sort of silly, condescending manner of speaking among
Wikipedians that really ought to stop. Enough said.
For once, I agree with Mr. Sanger. Unfortunately, the Wikipedian culture is now fossilized into strange patterns that are strange, unnecessarily complex, difficult to learn, and don't quite work the way they're supposed to anymore. I know you say you wish you'd done more in the beginning, but you can't and we have too much of a barrier to entry.
Enough said.
