Since the term is sort of a grab-bag for a variety of researchers, I think this article would do better as a description of the people and organizations doing theory, pushing off technical bits to specific topics (which already mostly seem to have article, yay). Bits to be added here could include joint conferences and joint projects with "practical" CS people, something about the "genealogy" (SIGACT has a nifty page on this) that name-drops the most notable theory people, and ideally a few catty remarks by and against theory people (I've heard them personally, but that's not verifiable, heh-heh, what can we find in print?).

The anon's edit of 22 January is well-meaning, but it goes exactly opposite to what I just said above, reproduces material better-described elsewhere, and makes a few unsourced generalizations. So I intend to revert nearly all of it, but will wait to hear counterarguments. Stan 00:07, 23 January 2006 (UTC) Insert non-formatted text here
