IdioT.SavanT.i4 is a long time internet help resource. He has helped, literally, thousands of people fix computer related problems online at Yahoo! Chat Help:1 & the slickdeals.net Tech Support forum. He posted a few basic help pages at geocities for beginner computer users. The pages are horrible looking but contain many gems of wisdom.
He thanks the Wikipedia for existing, He and many others use it often as a respected and neutral source for debate at the online debate Podium on slickdeals.net There is no source generally regarded as more neutral than the Wiki.
The place can get ugly so if you don't bring a # 7 pissing rod, you might as well stay asleep on the porch. Running with the rest of the Big Dogs at the fire hydrant will get you chewed a new one if you don't. With that caveat, come on down, they are always looking for new meat to chew up. Anonymouse is IdioT.SavanT.i4's ID there.
Additionally, under the user ID of HYATT™, (trademarked to distinguish it from the Hyatt Hotels logo), he debates other NFL fans about the Green Bay Packers on Scout.com's PackerReport forum, where he writes pre-draft reports, player evaluations, and general reviews of the NFL and it's events - in addition to getting into a few knock-down, drag-out fights with other passionate Packer fans. Wiki has been an invaluable resource for many of those debates as well.
As a minor and sometimes contributor, he looks first for neutrality and completeness, most of his entries have been to add linkys to the already existant entries, making the references more expansive. Thanks to the work of countless others, it's pretty easy to add the double brackets and linky to any other Wiki pages.
He strongly supports the idea of a peer reviewed NEUTRAL source online. In this day and age of partisan mummery, it's important to have at least one place where a person can feel the information they receive has been filtered and cleaned of any motivational taint. Let's keep it that way, put aside your personal convictions and stick to the FACTS eh? Bias belongs on the editorial page of your local newspaper. If you can't leave it behind, LEAVE - period!
His life consists of debate and helping others with computer related problems these days, although he has to go out and actually do carpentry to earn sometimes. He went to school for Architecture and has advice for anyone on how to do anything. LMAO :))
He enjoys reading, German white wines, maintaining a few perenial flowering bulb gardens, fishing in the lakes around his home, and volunteer work for Habitat for Humanity's "Hammer With a Heart" program, devoted to helping disabled and poor people remain in their homes by fixing or replacing damaged parts of their houses. He has also written some fine poetry and been published 3 times.
He is married to a wonderful woman who overfeeds him, has raised two fine sons and many cats, and continues to harrass his local gummint officials to keep them honest.
He's always available, if not in a timely fashion, at his gmail address. If you have something to discuss, he always has an ear. (his wifey has the other one.)
(Could you imagine having a JOB like this? Actually geting paid to work for Wiki? Oh man, talk about a dream come true.....)
