Hi, I'm a graduate of [[Manchester Polytechnic]] & [[University of York]] who is interested in lots of things, which makes me useful for pub quizzes but not very employable. I've been editing here since 8th August 2007, clocking up 6000 edits<ref>11th January 2008</ref>. But luckily I don't suffer from [[Wikipedia:Editcountitis|vanity or guilt]] in this. These are just numbers and I'd rather be judged by the quality of what I do here rather than its quantity. |
