| ::It's understandable. You know, I have moments in my history where I got out of hand, or was too emotional in my editing, but I always recognized it. I certainly wasn't fooling myself.

Hopefully Ivo will make some good edits. He seems pretty reasonable. But there are now 9 editors in support...this doesn't seem to be all the controversial except for one persistent editor who can't keep his finger off the "Refresh" button for his watchlist. Even other editors who initially seemed to voice lukewarm support for his position have backed away, likely due to his war cries. <sigh> --] 14:54, 20 March 2007 (UTC) | |||

This is the user talk page of an editor who has died. His family has requested that the page be preserved, which it is through the edit history. Editors wishing to leave memorial comments should do so here.
There will be little rubs and disappointments everywhere, and we are all apt to expect too much; but then, if one scheme of happiness fails, human nature turns to another; if the first calculation is wrong, we make a second better: we find comfort somewhere. Jane Austen, Mansfield Park
