NTs are to Wikipedia as flies are to fly paper (or
moths to a flame). ;)

Hmmmmmm.
Well, I hope more people will add themselves so we
improve statistics.
But after we noticed an apparent predominance of NT,
who think of
* why are those predominant ? What is the positive
feedback given to them and not given to others ?
* Are the other groups not attracted by WP ? Or are
they quickly leaving because they can't meet their
needs ?
* is it good for wikipedia community that mostly NT
are here ? Would not we benefit of more types ? How to
attract them and *keep* them ?
* who are the groups more embarassed with trolls ? Who
could better help best with wikistress attacks ?
I'm neither surprised nor worried about the skewed results. I can
easily understand how some of these other types would not be given to
spending long hours banging on the keyboard to write encyclopedia
article. Some of them are like spouses who complain when we never come
to the dinner table or to bed. Some we would all find unbearable.
