I've been contributing to the English wikipedia since 2001, first as the user firehawk and under this current username.
I'm a medical doctor (M.B.,B.S. (Sydney)) currently working and living in Sydney, having completed medical school in the University of Sydney.
Previously hooked on everything2 (userpage), I became addicted to wikipedia early on, realizing that this could be the next big thing (tm). A free encyclopedia, written by people on the Internet at large, under a free license, freely downloadable ... wikipedia continues to have all the requirements for becoming the greatest reference the world has ever had.
I think of it as contributing to overall human knowledge.
I grant non-exclusive permission for the Wikimedia Foundation Inc. to relicense my text contributions under any copyleft license that it chooses, provided it maintains the free and open spirit of the GFDL.

It is given for as long as this banner remains.
