| :Hello Geometry guy! I am, in fact, indubitably well and hope you are! Are you still active here? I so rarely come to Misplaced Pages, and there always seems to be a new feature. Now there is a reply button that doesn't work. Very cool. <big>''']]'''</big> 13:14, 13 April 2023 (UTC) | |||

| ::: Hi Lara, I'm pretty dismayed by Misplaced Pages: any pretence at NPOV has been lost, as there is a bias in active contributors on almost every topic. I recently lost my bit for inactivity, which pissed me off a lot. Meanwhile editor numbers seem to have dropped, and so there are many pages that are just piles of cow shit that no one cares about any more. It might be painless to bring such articles to B level, maybe close to GA, so I am experimenting with that idea. Let me know if you are interested in such an adventure. In any case, I hope you are well. '']'' 00:41, 20 November 2023 (UTC) | |||

Not wiki-related (really)Hello Lara, I've just been reflecting on my early days on Misplaced Pages, and what a good team we were. I hope you are Indubitably well, and wish you all the best in every endeavour. Geometry guy 20:01, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
I stumbled upon your page (oddly enough, because I recognized you in File:Bathrobe pwns.gif and didn't know you renamed yet again). Anyhow, I missed the days when we did Good article sweeps. I hope you're doing well these days. OhanaUnited 05:15, 2 February 2024 (UTC) |
