I am another refugee from Wikipedia. Why did I leave? Best to email me on that!
If anyone can help me upload some favourite images from the packing case, leave a message on my talk page. I haven't worked out how to use those fancy labels that categorise me, but if I did it would be on the following lines:
- This user has no particular views about the theory of evolution, and has no expertise on the subject whatever
- This user is proud to be English
- This user likes old books
- This user is a member of the Church of England (and therefore has no particular beliefs)
