Hey PM,

I noticed your recent drama and just wanted to say I was entirely sympathetic to you. Like you, I created this SPA account so as not to let my "political" opinions get in the way of my editing activities. However, I didn't care about publicly revealing my old account when asked about it, as I was dealing with a different set of people than I was previously, and when I resumed editing articles under that handle I rather more rigorously kept this account confined to policy discussions, so less "drama," as it were, seems attracted to me. Still, I support your basic "right to privacy," to the extent the concept exists in any practical way in an environment such as this.—]<sup><small><font color="BrightRed">]</font></small></sup> 18:30, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Sounds good to me, this user account is expressive but not disruptive. Thanks, SqueakBox 02:23, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
Thanks Squeak, we've not been around each other too much, but yours is a voice I respect - Privatemusings 02:48, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Welcome back... don't do anything I wouldn't do!  :-) *Dan T.* 02:57, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

It's doing things you would do that got me into this mess! - thanks for the note though... Privatemusings 02:58, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

I have seen trusted admins screw-up and say as a penalty they will do such and such that everyone agrees is good for creating an encyclopedia. You would prove a lot if you would undertake to unambiguously act to improve the encyclopedia. Ask others for what such acts might be if you have doubts. Hint: red links.

For every typo... I try and correct two via Special:Random.  :) Mercury 15:06, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
