I love this place.

I discovered MeatballWiki in 2006 while I was working for the Daily News of Longview, Wash., and founding tdn.com/townsquare, an online community that eventually forked over to [http://www.cowlitzforum.info/index.php?PHPSESSID=af9725e887271f7729584990b3886f2b;www cowlitzforum.info]. Though I never joined your community, its site was a big help, a needed companion and a formative experience. Thank you.

I'm a journalist by trade and inclination. In 2010 I founded [http://portlandafoot.org another wiki-based community] in my home town, Portland, Ore. As you read this, it may or may not still be in the SeedPosting phase.

I'm a contributor to [http://portlandwiki.org PortlandWiki], and honored to know folks like MarkDilley through that community.

I'm skeptical of MeatballWiki's version of TheOneTrueWikiWay. If I think a wiki is the best way to deliver my own content, while allowing occasional edits by others, isn't that okay?

Even so, I really value the wisdom and arguments here.

I sometimes have NoRespectForHistory. Because I tend to be reticent, this is sometimes the only thing helping me BeBold.
