You ass.

I just sat down and read the entirety of Donner Party, something I rarely do, preferring to bounce around an article. But I soaked up the prose, start to finish, inspired by a program I was watching on Curiosity Stream called Pioneering the American Frontier, which touched on the event, but told me no more than I already knew, so I came to Misplaced Pages to read up a bit. So I read, and I'm impressed with the level of detail and quality of prose, as well as the overall flow, so I look at the top, knowing this must be an FA, and of course it was. I wanted to look up the person who brought it to FA (and TFA, I found along the way), to leave a nice note complimenting them on the fine work. Truly one of our better articles, hands down. And it was you.

Now, the reason I'm calling you an ass isn't because of the fine work, it's because of you inability to play nice, which I know you despise. You and I worked together on Sunbeam Tiger (FA/TFA), 1950s American automobile culture (GA) and American automobile industry in the 1950s (GA) was solid work, but Donner Party is truly a stunning story, and your work here was truly stellar. There are so many other articles could have been, which is a purely selfish sentiment, but still true. I know you check here every now and then, so know that I hope that life is treating you well, old friend. Dennis Brown - 02:59, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
