Can Pirate Roberts be considered a Real Pirate or does account sharing
disqualify him?

He's  a role account, hence the honorific Dread.

I think we need to consider n00b-biting qualities, that being the
other quotidian issue. Ninjas kill them stealthily and you never know
they were there. Pirates are rather more flamboyant in introducing
them to the sharks. As the technical contributors, which do you think
is better for educating the world?

Send a couple more stealth developers to WYSIFTW and it'll be ready to
sneakily deploy as an official gadget in three weeks or less.

Pirates aren't stealthy, and I don't think either of them really
care about wikitext or wysiwyg.

I know you love talking about the issue, but please try to stay
OT and not derail this thread.
