I am Dr. Allen Smith. Sorry, I don't have time to write another webpage on myself, so please see http://www.drallensmith.org/; do not use this to contact me off-wiki for Wikipedia matters, although you can email me via Wikipedia. (If anyone's wondering about all the alma maters, my undergraduate degree is from Earlham; I took some classes at the University of South Alabama (not precisely my alma mater, admittedly...); my doctorate is from a joint program of UMNDJ and Rutgers University.)

One thing that I should mention for full disclosure: I am an adjunct professor at Gloucester County College (GCC). I'm not paid to do things on Wikipedia, however, nor do I expect to be!

Quite welcome, and thanks for the barnstar! Currently, it isn't quite a Bot yet - I run it manually - but I do plan for it eventually to be one, along with one or two other programs. Allens (talk | contribs) 13:28, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
