You may think that Wikipedia is a way of life, but in reality Wikipedia is just a goddamn hobby. We're all volunteers. Yes, we strive to be professional in the product and to play nice even with people who come here to shit the bed, but it's a hobby. For everyone, including you. The only people making money here are spammers.
