Welcome, all. I'm Atakdoug. Never mind why. Here, I'm an occasional Wikignome, most of whose edits are corrections to the grammar, punctuation, or spelling of our well-meaning but sometimes less than perfectly erudite contributors. Note: I can't type for shit, so when you see that I've written "teh" or "shoudl" somewhere, please either correct it (in the mainspace) or just understand (in talk). I'm fallible. A little.
In real life I live in Arizona. I'd have a userbox to this effect but it would display a US flag, and that's not something I'm terribly comfortable with right now. I consider myself a citizen of the planet that we collectively (everywhere) are doing our best to destroy.
