Why is there information about me here? Because I'm very uneasy about anonymous editing. I understand why in some countries there are good reasons for editors to be anonymous. However, this doesn't apply to most regular editors on the English Wikipedia. In all blogs and wikis, anonymity appears to encourage aggression and abuse; sadly Wikipedia is far from being an exception.

I am now fully retired from the School of Computer Science at the University of Birmingham, UK. My retirement interests include:

• botany of all kinds
• gardening – as a plantsman rather than a designer
• natural history in general
• taxonomy – I studied zoology at University many years ago, and maintained an interest in taxonomy through computational statistics, including numerical taxonomy.
