After I posted it, I was thinking that people may think my account was hijacked, because of how I presented it. I should have added some sort of commentary at the end of it.

the...I...wait, what?! And I actually wrote parts of those Wikipedia articles...
What kind of business scheme is this?
1. Wait for people to write Wikipedia articles
2. Publish said articles in book format
3. ???
4. PROFIT!
I'd understand if it was a Masters of Doom-esque journal of the development phase (heck, I'd even buy it), but dang. That's just low.
I said I was going to only reply to posts in the last month, but this... this just fails too hard. ><
