User:Two halves

I used to post with my IP address (206.15.46.129), and lately I have been posting from my job on dynamically assigned IP numbers, almost always numbered 159.83.183.xxx. Work has picked up lately, but I still manage a few edits a day on workdays. (I don't wiki on the weekends much anymore; my lovely wife won't let me. :0 )
When I decided to get a user name, for some unexplained reason, the Wire song, "Come Back in Two Halves" came into my head. I thought it was called, "Come Back as Two Halves" at that time.
I work in one of these. I live here.
There are now more than 350,000 articles in the English-language Wikipedia, which is amazing. I am honored, yet humbled, to be a part of this community. I have given to Wikipedia, but Wikipedia has given me so much more in return. What a resource, wow!
I am on a vacation from my vocation right now (week of September 12, 2004), but I still wanted to check out what is going on here, and maybe tweak a few articles.
Thanks to all who construct, no thanks to those who destruct, and if you aren't reading this, well, you're not reading this. (I know that it's not good grammar, as I went to California public schools (ranked 50 out of 50, which is not so good...)
Note to Newcomers:
There are some people who work on the Wikipedia who are not polite. You might say that they are mean and rude. You would do well to ignore their coarseness, even when their criticisms of your writing are valid. Cruel comments should not deter you from trying to make the Wikipedia the best Free Encyclopedia in existence. If you might be one of these rude people, you might consider the effect of what you are saying to others.
