Jimbo mentioned enough good things to make it worth your while. I really liked that EllyWa's law is now known to Jimbo. I think most wikipedians have seen this variations on Murphy's law in action. :)
I wonder if someone would be so kind as to state "EllyWa's Law" in some standard form by which it is understood in the Dutch community.
I am personally thinking of this as I think of the "Piranha Effect" as identified by the French community.
I think it is lovely, just lovely, when ideas like this become known from different communities to help us all understand our work better.
For those who don't know, Ellywa is one of the most important and beloved editors in the Dutch community. She's like Angela in English or Anthere in French. :-)
