[edit] Peter H. St. John

I'm a software developer, have degrees in math, play go and chess, and was on the MOO after it was a Goat Path but before MMORPG; am eclectic yet opinionated. Peter H. St.John, M.S. 16:42, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Attribution

I grew up with the idea that attribution of scholarship is critical, and part of the scholarship. This is compatible with the new Wiki concept, that attribution of authorship accrues to a nonpersonal community instead of identifiable individuals. However, this is a big socio-psychological paradigm shift for me, so I'm slow to create articles, but quicker to post stuff to discussion pages. Hopefully I'll adapt. --Pete
