User talk:Dwight123

Hi,

To hu12. I put my remark on the talk page to the person or ip who deleted my paragaph without explaining why they deleted it. (I should have used his/her talk page and I did. I did not put in the inflamatory remarks on the page identified by their ip.)  I really don't want this remark to go to everyone on the talk page. I am not sure why you keep putting the remark back. I noticed your exhibition of the Wikipedia rules and I have appropriately repented. Any suggestions?

Hi Ronabop

I put a paragraph in the Divorce/Religious/Culture section. I am new to Wikipedia and chose this subject to learn how to do some editing on Wikipedia.


 * Everybody has to start somewhere. My starting page was less than wonderful. :-) Ronabop 05:52, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

I notice you have a strong data processing background. (I also have a strong data processing background. I have been in it for many, many years working in all kinds of languages and technologies.)  I noticed you also have a very strong "Security systems" background working for the NSA, Department of the Army, NASDAQ and so forth.


 * I've been around, and, well, I'm good at my work, I think. Ronabop 05:52, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

I am curious, how did you find me on Wikipedia with so much material to choose from?


 * In this case, a friend of mine (who is also new to wikipedia) commented on how bad the Divorce page was. I work on some 600+ different pages, with my "Watched Pages" growing every so often as I find new interests. Ronabop 05:52, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Am I on some kind of NSA hit list? :)


 * LOL, if you were, *I* wouldn't know. Ronabop 05:52, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

I noticed you have edited some Scientology. I read the book once, but I couldn't get a "clear". :)


 * I have a general interest in religious branches marginalized by the mainstream, regardless of their underpinnings. Ronabop 05:52, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

You also into Zen? I am just curious about your knowledge of the Talmud, Mishnah, Gemara and so forth? Have you studied these books?


 * I don't have good reference copies of everything I would like (it would fill acres), but yes, I study religious texts both mainstream and otherwise.Ronabop 05:52, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Also, I am curious about your knowledge of the Old and New Testaments. Have you studied these also?


 * I've only done a cover-to-cover read on 7 english versions of various "bibles", and like to dig into ancient languages as needed, simply because modern versions and translations are lacking in accuracy and historical context. Ronabop 05:52, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Since I am new on Wikipedia, can you give me some kind of idea how long my paragraph will likely survive? Thanks.


 * If it's well cited, provides more answers than questions, and is germane to the article, it can last for years. Otherwise, minutes. Ronabop 05:52, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I have done some research on 9/11 as well. Did Silverstein get hauled in for questioning after he confessed????? to bringing down WTC 7 on PBS? You know, "pull it"?


 * Not much of a confession, as it can also mean "stop the efforts to save it out, it's a lost cause". Know any demolition team that uses "pull it" as a blast phrase? Ronabop 05:52, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Was there anyone in the building to ask to leave? (I am not a conspiracy theorist but I like to study this issue. My health and my 401k may be at stake.  Your work at NSA might give you an inside track on some of this.)


 * Again, LOL. There was a semi-secret portion of the building with a massive amount of fuel, and it was just too dangerous to keep firefighters in/around the building once the fires got too far out of control. Ronabop 05:52, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

However, I am waiting on the latest NIST report about WTC 7 that is due out this year.


 * Should be a good study. Should also help teach people that placing an emergency crisis center, with a lot of fuel in it, right next to a known target, is a bad move. Ronabop 05:52, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

I hope NIST comes up with a better story than they have so far. Basically, they said they are still studying the issue.


 * With all the hoopla and questions about it, they're spending ages tracking down every piece of information. Ronabop 05:52, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

I looked for info on WTC 7 from FEMA and the 9/11 Commission report and there is none. This peaks my paranoia. Sigh. You mind if I call you Robocop? Christian 18:02, 3 January 2007 (UTC) (I may drop the Christian user id.  I just picked it because of the subject matter.)


 * Well... *shrug*, call me whatever. Ronabop 05:52, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
