We don't know Lir's real age. She describes herself as a woman, so it's fair
to assume we know her sex. But we can only guess at her age. Not only do ladies often not
care to reveal such personal info, it's rare for people online to do so either. She
acknowledges *acting* like a 14-year-old.
Less than 5% of the contributors whose Usernames I recognize go by their real names: Jimbo
Wales, Larry Sanger do it because of their positions as founder and shaper. I do it
because I don't want anyone saying, "These Moonies always hide behind a facade;
see, even BigMetalGuy won't reveal his real name."
As one of my favorite New Yorker cartoons points out, "On the Internet no one knows
you're a dog."

Subject: [Wikipedia-l] Lir, yet again.
Lir is deleting the contents of the [[Talk:Lir]] page. Not that this is NOT her user talk
page but is the talk page about the article [[Lir]], concerning the Celtic god. Ed Poor
and I have both suggested that she not do so, especially since the thing she is deleting
is NOT something she wrote, but she insists on doing so. I will stop the edit war for
now, but I will revert it once she's gone to bed for the night. Her bedtime must be
soon, she probably has to go to school in the morning.
