Wikipedia

 * I will try to contribute what I can, but normally I find I have nothing more to say. I don't really like writing, for I often have nothing creative to say. That is, unless I am quite knowledgeable about a topic. Then, though, I have the problem of actually getting my thoughts out to words.

I'll go let these explain myself...
