• For what it's worth, I identify as a non-binary transgender person and would prefer to be referred to using "them"/"they" pronouns. Thank you.

If you're reading this, then you might be wondering:

• Hey, I think I've seen you before!

I've edited here for quite a while now, having different accounts in the past several years. I've also edited semi-anonymously in multiple places, thus using various IP addresses. I've made an account for convenience once again that, for whatever reason, I seem to be sticking to this time.

• Hey, you're stalking me!

I like reading about a wide variety of topics, and it's very likely that I've just so happened to interact with you across several pages because I'm interested in the same things you are. I actively try not to hound other users from page to page.

• That name sounds familiar!

It's a reference to the cultural / socio-economic / political libertarian podcast Coffee And Markets. Ironically enough, I've fallen out of the pattern of regularly listening to that podcast, so the name is somewhat of an 'artifact title'. And the service itself operating working at some point. At the same time, however, this name is both easy for me to remember and also reflects my academic studies in this field.

• Hey, you're very biased!

I'm a human being, and (like all of them) I come from a certain perspective and have a lot of biases. I try my best to be objective when I contribute to articles, however. I think there's nothing wrong with editors having strong viewpoints on things. What's important is talking things out in a civil manner.
