User:Beagle17

Don't know what a user page should really look like (never seen one) but here goes:

Beagle17 - from my childhood nickname and favorite number

I use this handle on a few different sites. Why not my real name? Dunno. Habit since before I stopped worrying.

I'm making this profile in case someone is interested in me because of the odd Wikipedia edit I may make. As I recall, my first was to create the page for Ted Serios. (Aha. I see it has hardly been changed a bit.) So that should give you an idea of wether or not I have any agendas or wish to truly hide. I'm shy, but certainly not unreachable, and I don't mind unsolicited email. (Who does?)

My Wikipedia triumphs

The original page on Ted Serios. I know my username's not there, but if you check the IP you'll find it is a Taipei ISP, and if you check their logs.... (I hadn't registered.)

The NYT paragraph on the 7 WTC page, collapse section. Got the source from here.[3]

Not much else.

Say, drop me a line
