Who You Callin' Helpful?

I was mildly amused by this Rough Type post about a study suggesting that people who contribute to Wikipedia, rather than being motivated by a desire to selflessly advance the frontiers of human knowledge, tend to be cranky and anti-social, and to prefer communicating online because they don't really like personally interacting with fellow humans.

They sure have my number!

Well, except that I don't contribute to Wikipedia. But if I did, you can bet it would be in a dour and grouchy fashion.

Or...maybe the fact that I don't contribute to Wikipedia is evidence that I'm less cantankerous than I think?

Nah.
