Hi. I'm a mostly useless member of society. While awaiting discorporation, I decided I could at least contribute some information to this worthy project.
I divide my work on the Wikimedia projects into three groups:
- Small fixes that take seconds. I do scores (sometimes hundreds) of these every day.
- Modest work that take minutes. This includes minor cleanup and answering simple questions.
- Heavy work that takes hours or even days. This includes creating, rewriting, or researching and sourcing articles; dealing with hard or complex issues; and perfoming major maintenance or policy work.
I am happy to answer all questions and points brought up to me on my talk page (except from vandals and other disruptors jerking my chain). My response time usually is in line with how much work is involved as shown above. If I'm too slow, you can post a second note, but please remember that Wikimedia projects are not primarily real-time communities, and you can never be sure when someone is online.
One exception to my timing above is that I will often take a considerable amount of time to help someone with editing issues that I could fix myself in a minute, because I believe that helping other editors resolve problems will ultimately have a more useful impact on Wikipedia than my direct contributions. (Assuming I know what I'm talking about, of course. ☺)

[edit] Interesting ideas
- The perils of cherry picking and ideological myopia
- 0 + 0 = 0
- 0 - 0 = 0
- 0 × 0 = 0
- 0 / 0 is meaningless
- Therefore, addition, subtraction, and multiplication are identical, and division doesn't exist.

- Overheard at a primate skeleton exhibit in the Smithsonian Natural History Museum, mid-August 2005:

- Child: Geez, that's kinda the idea, Dad!
- Swift, 26 August 2005, "Another Smart Kid", reported by reader David Craig
