Inactive members

I lack the time due to other wikiactivities, but still consider myself part of this particular WikiProject in spirit. =]
Same reason here. Feureau 10:46, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Bubba73 - Joined 1/31/06. I was active on pseudoscience articles, but I had to cut down on my Misplaced Pages hours, so I'm mostly inactive now. (Well I'm not as inactive as I claim to be, or wish to be.) Bubba73 (talk), 05:05, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Askolnick: alternative medicine, quackery, transcendental mediation, creationism/Intelligent design, science & medical journalism, and other areas of pseudoscience --He blanked his user page and left with the comment "Misplaced Pages is really not worth the enormous effort to write and edit articles and protect them from the myriad of Vandal tribes seeking to plunder the popularity of this source. Fighting against the dishonest changes of anonymous, often Single Purpose Account editors, is just not worth it." Let's hope it's just a temporary bout of wikistress, but perhaps we can contact him and encourage him to come back. Edhubbard 11:29, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Jamie Guinn 07:38, 27 February 2007 (UTC) Will check in time to time and help when I can.
  • Chemist3456 - anything to keep those idiots who refuse science quiet.
  • 7Kim ... I'm time-stressed at the moment, so I can't be as active as I'd like, but I feel it's important to support this project. I am deeply concerned about the use of distortion of science and the use of sloppy thinking and irrationalism in politics, particularly the social politics of gender and sexuality.
