A Favorite Quote

A TALE OF TWO CITIES

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way — in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.

Paraphrased comment about administration stated by Jimbo Wales in Feb 2003, referring to administrators as sysops: I just wanted to say that becoming a sysop is *not a big deal*. I think perhaps I'll go through semi-willy-nilly and make a bunch of people who have been around for awhile sysops. I want to dispel the aura of "authority" around the position. It's merely a technical matter that the powers given to sysops are not given out to everyone. I don't like that there's the apparent feeling here that being granted sysop status is a really special thing. — Jimbo Wales, wikimedia.org archive entry, gmane archive entry Research This is the User page for Brother Officer Josiah Perkins Creesy, Jr. (1814-1871) Lieut. Lardner Gibbon Lardner Gibbon, USN; Midshipman, 22 December, 1837. Passed Midshipman, 29 June, 1843. Master, 10 April, 1851. Lieutenant, 5 December, 1851. Resigned 15 May, 1857. Lardner Gibbon is one of three brothers related to USA General John Gibbon, a man who was disowned by his Southern family during the Civil War. The other brothers served in the Confederacy. It is one of those sad situations of a family divided and "brother against brother." Genl John Gibbon's parents also sided with the Confederacy and lived in the South. http://www.history.navy.mil/books/callahan/reg-usn-g.htm EXPLORATION OF THE VALLEY OF THE AMAZON VOL. II by Lieut.
