From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Retired, and recovering, lawyer coming back to online forums. I've been here before, and have many friends who are deeply involved in the Wiki world; it can be used for much good, it can be used for much bad. I only want to do good.

My interests are mainly in the areas of corporate mergers and acquisitions, and leaders in business and politics, trying to keep them honest! But, I love to just browse too. I look at geopolitical, and market trends. I examine mainly publicly traded companies where strong "buy" or "sell" suggestions have been made by the "experts", and I examine the experts as well. I will swiftly, but politely, delete anything that is not supported by sources, that appears to be used to "pump" stock (even without dump intent), or that seems irrelevant to issues or articles. I don't tolerate vandalism, or people who seem to have an axe to grind against companies or other people.

Feel free to leave a message on my talk page here with any comments or questions.



HMS Malabar
HMS Malabar was a 74-gun ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched in 1818 at Bombay Dockyard. In 1838, Malabar ran aground off Prince Edward Island in British North America and was damaged, with the loss of two crew members. She was refloated later that year and towed into Three Rivers in Lower Canada. In August 1843, Malabar, under the command of Sir George Sartorius, assisted in fighting a fire that destroyed the United States Navy sidewheel frigate USS Missouri at Gibraltar, taking aboard about 200 of that ship's survivors. Malabar was converted to a hulk in 1848, eventually becoming a coal hulk, and was renamed Myrtle in 1883. The hulk was sold out of the navy in 1905. This lithograph from around 1843 shows the crew of Malabar watching as Missouri explodes and burns in the distance.Lithograph credit: Thomas Goldsworthy Dutton, after Edward Duncan and George Pechell Mends; restored by Adam Cuerden
