[edit] Comparing dates

Regarding this comment of yours: you might find it informative to compare the date when the article on me was created (February 9, 2006) with the date of my first edit here (August 21, 2006) and the date on which I posted about finding an article about me on my blog (August 20, 2006). I have not edited WP under any other name. So your bad-faith assumption that the article about me was created solely because of my presence here at Wikipedia seems untenable unless you think someone has access to a time machine. In fact, the reverse seems to be true: the existence of an article about me was what caused me to start paying more attention to Wikipedia. Given the attitude you've shown so far, I don't expect you to apologize, but I think you ought to. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:14, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
