Q1: So tell us a little about your name, why you chose it, what it means, etc.

Part of it is my name and part of it is an old gate code.

Quote:

Q2: Tell us a little about your avatar. Does it mean anything special to you?

I like the primitive guy, with a primitive tool, running around in a primitive manner.

Quote:

Q3: Explain to us the significance of your user title (if you have one) and/or signature. Where does it come from? What can this small tidbit of info tell us about you?

User title? What is this earth-user title?

Quote:

Q4: What made you join the forum?

I really have no other outlet for this kind of stuff.

Quote:

Q5: For someone who's been a member as long as you, your stats suck, why?

Oh that's easy. I'm one of the stupid ones.

Tell us a little bit more about you in general.

Q6: If you could describe yourself in one short sentence, what would it be and why?

Oh I don't know, you tell me.

Quote:

Q7: Do you have any other interests other than philosophy (i.e. hobbies, work, etc.)?

Lutherie, making or improving stuff, plumbing. I like to create things. I actually don't like plumbing, but it seems I'm always doing it.

Quote:

Q8: Do those interests coincide with your affinity for philosophy?

Uh, maybe aesthetics, but I'm not interested in aesthetics as a philosophy, so I guess not.

Quote:

My first car was a Buick.

Q10: What are your favorite areas of the forum? If you have more than one, give us your top five.

Most recently, it's the creative writing section. The Language section has interested me. Religion has been popular with me. Politics too, but it's kind of like a car accident. I know I shouldn't look, but I do anyway.

Quote:

Q11: Do you blog? What are some of the topics you discuss?

Yes, recently, mostly creative writing stuff or just random thoughts.

Quote:

Q12: If you could describe philosophyforum.com in one word, what would that word be?

I like it. I miss some of the early members. I'm feeling particularly nostalgic lately.

Quote:

Q13: How would you describe your posts and the style/structure you use?

I tend to like examples. Philosophy for me has to connect in some way to my life or my world.

Quote:

Q14: What would you do to make philosophy forum a better/more interesting place?

It's in good hands.

It's constantly under development.

Benefits? It has benefits?

Q20: What do you think the drawbacks to philosophy are?

It seems a lot of philosophy just exists on paper.
