About me[edit]
My main area of expertise is probably comics. I also garden a little, and have a genuine interest in finding things out, so I hope I can bring that to bear here.
I came here to look up an obscure US poet, Helen Hoyt, and since there was no entry, I created it and have been here ever since.
User:Hiding is less involved in Wikipedia than he used to be, owing to the over-officiousness of several users who have made this site no longer the enjoyable place it used to be. Whereas at one time it was a case of two steps forward, one step back - manageable, but annoying - it is now frequently one step forward, four or five steps back, with accompanying bitching, zealousness and self-glorifying bossiness. This is not what the site should be - it should be a community, with emphasis on the CO-, meaning together.
