[Textop-en-phil] Introducing myself

[Larry Sanger]

Hello all,

OK, so my kick-off message (viewable here for the new folks:
http://tinyurl.com/noafp) maybe asked too much--five questions, oy.  So
let's start with the basics.  Who are you?

My name is Larry Sanger, I studied philosophy (epistemology and early
modern philosophy especially) at Ohio State with George Pappas, got my
Ph.D. in 2000.  I'm living just north of Santa Cruz (near, practically
in, the Bay Area of California).  My wife and I have a brand-new
firstborn son (May 18).  I had the idea for Wikipedia and got it started
in 2001 (my apologies if they're in order) and I've been bouncing back
and forth between academia and the Internet since, like, 1998.  I am
*extremely* excited about Textop, more than any other project I've taken
on (Wikipedia included).  I really do think it will be revolutionary (in
a good way).

Would be nice to know who ya'll are...as many details as I gave are not
necessary, if you're shy (or not the type to give out personal info on
mailing lists)...answers to any of those five questions would be nice,
too.

If you want to chat on the phone, individually or as a group, let me
know.

--Larry
