Who's there?
I can't help it. It always puts me on edge when it's dark and someone knocks on my cyberdoor. Reading virtual identities is a tricky affair under the best of circumstances but out here in the dim recesses of the net? I think you know what I mean. Now where the hell did I put those damn glasses?
Yes I am new denizen of the Wikiworld and yes I came here of my own free will. Call me crazy. I ask only a little patience as I adapt slowly & cautiously to the new environment.
Please feel free to offer any worthy ideas that may aid in this endeavor or that relate to any of my edits/additions.
As Willie Nelson once said: "The cyberlife ain't no good life... but it's my life." Or something to that effect.

Food for Thought
"As Rhys Carpenter put it, some archaeologists are slow to realize 'that they are burning the book of history as they read it.' More loss of scholarly information is suffered through excavation in the cause of scholarship than through tomb-robbing for collectors and museums, yet the non-publishing excavators continue to enjoy credit for their discoveries (credit better paid to the ancient creators of what they unearthed) rather than be branded as academic felons." - John Boardman, "The Greeks Overseas."
Comments
- I contracted Hellenophilia about ten years ago and am currently in a treatment program that allows me to cope and function somewhat normally on a day to day basis. It was shock to me (and a lesson hard won) just how infectious libraries can be. God only knows where all those books have been. And librarians... well they can be a treacherous lot!
- I have several articles in preparation, mostly on ancient historic subjects.
- "Polite? Why it's merely the truth and the truth is always good manners."
