User:Smack

I first edited an article in March of 2003, and started contributing on a regular basis in the wee days of May; thus, I am still somewhat a newbie. I am Russian by birth, Jewish by heritage, American by citizenship and allegiance; libertarian by political persuasion, Republican by general party affiliation; and nerd by personality.

My nickname is a slang term, at least around here, for a somewhat cocky smart person. As you can see from the fact that I am writing this, it describes me to a T.

My email address is smack92604 in the immediate vicinity of yahoo very small spot com email-address harvesting software can die. ('92604' is my ZIP code. When I got this email address, Yahoo suggested that I be either smack16 or smack17, so I decided to go with a number I could remember. You may also AIM me at smack92604, or ICQ me at 26220039.
