Knew about Antandrus, but not Raul's Laws. Thanks.

Only six comments so far, if anyone wants to weigh in.

Hello everyone,
I've just encountered a Wikipedia essay from a user called Antandrus. It's from 2006/7 or so initially but much of it still holds true.
It may be familiar to you but thought you might like it, too - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Antandrus/observations_on_Wikipedia_...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Antandrus/observations_on_Wikipedia_behav...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Antandrus/observations_on_Wikipedia_behavior
for the thing itself, rather than the talk page. The grand-daddy of such lists is of course
