I've yet to get far in formal education (just a BA), mostly due to a number of stultifying family economic problems that have kept me scrambling after cash. But I've been devouring books from a very early age and have met with a degree of success as a sometime writer (publications, grants). I can get a bit combative (but never rude, I hope) during the whole chaotic wiki process. Please have patience. I think it's mostly due to a great enthusiasm for the project and a wish to proceed as efficiently as possible. Mincing words is a terrible time waster... See you out there.
