In the end, I opted for the first one that came to mind when asked to create a user name - JackofOz. But never fear, in my future reincarnations I will eventually assume all these user names, and I will keep adding new names from time to time. And yes, that indicates my belief that Wikipedia will be around for a very long time, so we may as well make it work as well as possible.

Oh, if anyone actually has one of the user names listed above (I could check, I suppose, but I'm too lazy), please let me know and I'll strike it out. That, by the way, is NOT an invitation to steal any of them, but I suppose I can't actually stop anyone; and if you do, you might do the right thing for once in your lives and give due acknowledgment.
