replies: text:  He likely got it from your user page  here   which references both your livejournal here , and your email address as "	drpizza at cwazy dot co dot United Kingdom (UK)", and the use of "Last Avenue" on Ars Technica on IRC. Are you a different DrPizza than the one Registered at ArsTechnica (DrPizza aka Peter Bright)? Tomservo3000 09:01, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There are indeed two.  There's me (Peter Bright) who posts on the forums as PeterB and has written occasional pieces for the Ars Technica front page (as DrPizza), and there's the livejournal guy, who I think is registered on the Ars Technica forms as eddie694 (according to http://drpizza.livejournal.com/46578.html).  We are not the same person.  I wonder who was DrPizza first? DrPizza 22:54, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, that's right. I didn't start using DrPizza until 2004. Then I realized there was already another DrPizza. —Last Avenue [talk | contributions] 23:28, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  DRPIZZA? 

message: I added a new section to discuss the purpose and various pieces of the Ars Front Page, as well as moved criticism of the Front Page out of the OpenForum section and into the Front Page section. This needed to be done, as various editors here tend to strongly confuse the Front Page and the OpenForum, as well as the News Desk, Ars Columns, and Journal.Ars. They are all distinct from one another, and the distinction needed to be explained.
My additions to the article need to be fleshed out and edited for clarity. Also, criticism on this page needs to be strongly amended with further citations and for fairness. I'm beginning to have a feeling that this page is being monitored by a disgruntled ex-member, particularly since the majority of the article was simply criticism before my addition, and any attempt to edit or balance criticism is reverted. If no one is going to bother to at least find one citation for the first criticism, it needs to be permanently removed. -- Debuskjt 23:03, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I also added a new screenshot, since the old one didn't show Journal.Ars. -- Debuskjt 23:21, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: From the article history and discussion here, I would say it is more likely that there is just a reaction to the Ars Technica author activity in the article. Just for clarity, what is your involvement in the site, and why would you know more about the Front Page/OpenForum/News Desk/Ars Colums/Journal than the editors? Maramba 18:43, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've read the website for six years, if that qualifies me for anything. For the record, there are no "editors" at Ars per se. I think you mean writers, and AFAICT the only staff member on Ars who actively edits this Wiki article is Clint Eckers. I'm not saying I know more than them, but there was a complete lack of actual information about the website before my edits, and the few previous attempts that had been made were either reverted or are now obsolete.
