::Wikipedia is also edited by the very intolerant and heartless, as I know from grievous personal experience.  I was almost put off creating any new material at all, and I deal with Wikipedia far less as a result. The words pearls and swine spring to mind.  Like you I consort with literate, bright and positive folk, have academic and experiential curiosity, and am reasonably well connnected.  So, speaking as a kindred spirit, Giano, if I may presume so far, I say rejoice in your gifts and be thankful that you get to take YOURself home whereas these people are stuck with THEMselves.  Or, as a friend of mine once put it - would you like to be them?  -  No.  Would they like to be you? - Definitely.  Mine's a pernod with lots of iced water.
