| A NOTE ABOUT ARCHIVING |
|---|
|
I don't archive this talk page any more. After acquiring well over 100 archive pages I sat down one day and asked why I was bothering. The vast majority of my edits have informative summaries, and in general my talk page edits have summaries containing significant quotes from the body of the comment, so if you want to know what I said on this page at some period in the past the best way to find it is by looking at the history. I just can't be bothered to continue churning out hundreds and hundreds of pages in user talk space to duplicate what is already in the database. This isn't an invitation to discuss archiving policy on this page. Please use the appropriate policy page for that. --TS 02:16, 8 February 2010 (UTC) |
| TASTY MONSTER |

In 2006 I created a couple of spare accounts. One of them was User:Tasty monster, whose name is derived from a pun by User:Raul654 on the latin binomial of the swiss cheese plant. He's probably forgotten, it was on IRC and in any case I've probably misremembered who it was. I sometimes use this account when using my main account would be inappropriate. The most frequent case is when I'm using a cellphone and I want to avoid accidental rollbacks. I try to be as open as I can about this without actually cluttering talk pages up with "it's only me!" messages. This notice isn't an invitation to discuss aspects of the sock puppetry policy that allow this open and above-board use of multiple accounts. If you think the policy should be changed, please discuss your proposal in the appropriate place. On the other hand please do immediately raise any concerns about any apparent misuse of the dual account privilege. I take full responsibility for avoiding any such misuse but I welcome any comments about my use of the accounts. --TS 17:36, 16 February 2010 (UTC) |
| READ THIS BEFORE LEAVING A "TALKBACK" MESSAGE FOR ME |

Don't even think about it. If I've left a message on your talk page, ever, and I'm interested in what you have to say, I've added your talk page to my Watchlist. If you have something you think I should read and respond to, and it concerns me, put it on this page. If you write about something that doesn't directly involve me, anywhere on Wikipedia, and I don't respond, assume I either didn't read it or read it and had nothing to say. I'm just this guy, you know? You don't need my permission to contribute to Wikipedia. I trust you, get on with making this place better! --TS 00:13, 23 February 2010 (UTC) |
