Isn't this going slightly off-topic? Trying to stand on Essjay's shoulders while you're both drowning isn't going to save anyone. For what it's worth, I don't see how Essjay's actions were wrong - since we don't require any credentials to edit, it matters not whether he lied about having credentials that he didn't. He just played a game in trying to assume credibility he didn't have, at least he didn't harm anyone. -- Oldak Quill (oldakquill@gmail.com) ****** Excuse me for any impropriety. I meant only that both he and I were reported in the news. It isn't easy to be in this position.

I was being unduly sharp-tongued and it was unfair of me. I can't imagine what it must be like to be in your position. Sorry for any offense.
