Point taken. But the match between "Danny at the office" and 
[[User:Danny]] has to be assumed by a newbie. Here the start of the

Hi

Welcome to my page. I've been a Wikipedian for a while now. I have 
recently been asked to help coordinate the Wikimedia Foundation 
Grants Committee. For more information and ideas about how you can 
help, please see Grants.

About me: I now live in St. Petersburg, Florida, and work fulltime 
for the Wikimedia Foundation, helping Jimbo out where I can. In the 
past, I have worked overseas in various media, including print, film, 
and television. In fact, I still do some odd film work, which I enjoy 
immensely.

And by the same token Jimbo, Danny, SJ, Angela, Eloquence, Athere... 
we all know who they are.
