| In November 2007, he decided to retire from AH.com, wanting to do spend more time about other things than AH.com, and thinking it's better to quit while it's still good and you don't suck yet. He still looks in about once per week. | In November 2007, he decided to retire from AH.com, wanting to do spend more time about other things than AH.com, and thinking it's better to quit while it's still good and you don't suck yet. He still looked in about once per week. Sometimes less, sometimes more. |

| | What he likes to see in AH: Enlightened rulers; scientific and technical progress; a more interesting map of the Americas (and [[Australia]]); surviving New World nations; adoptive rulers; [[Brazil]]; [[India]]; long TLs (> 25 years); rewriting history, big style. |
| |
| Pet peeve: Doesn't like how Wikipedia nowadays is nicknamed "the genocide" on AH.com. | Pet peeve: Doesn't like how Wikipedia nowadays is nicknamed "the genocide" on AH.com. |

| | Doesn't like [[homoendo]], since he feels too much reminded of //Beavis and Butthead// and their obnoxious fans/RL counterparts. (To which either [[Kit]] or [[Fellatio Nelson|F. Nelson]] answered something along the line of "Yeah, I'm Cornholio!") |
| | |
| | Likes calling [[Thande]] "Mr. Anderson!". |
| | |
| | Among his favorite historians are Sebastian Haffner, Niall Ferguson and Adam Tooze. |
| | |
| | He is an admin/bureaucrat at [[alternate_history:althist_fandom_wiki|the Althist Fandom wiki]] (formerly Wikia). Sorry folks, but a wiki gives you possibilities a plain forum doesn't have. And a MediaWiki gives even more than this one, so sorry too. |
