Welcome to my Talk Page! Administrative
Please post new messages to the bottom of my talk page. Please use headlines when starting new talk topics. Also, if you come to attack other user, read this first. Thank you. Thanks for reverting vandalism
NoteI removed your reply to my comment because my comment was supposed to be somewhere else. I wasn't challenging that particular (and useful) bit of functionality. Best, Mackensen (talk) 20:12, 12 April 2007 (UTC) Humor Barnstar for note at WT:RFA
Consultas de borrado en españolHola. El problema es que aquí no habría votación. Solo una discusión. Un saludo (Fergon en la wiki:es) Image thumbnail for A classHi, I had a Idea about the little Image Thumbnail for FA and GA class article's and I saw that you know a lot about this stuff. So I am hopeing you can Help me with my Idea. FA class has a barnstar and a GA class has a round stamp, but none for the "A" class article. I thought that there could be a little Thumbnail for class A article's like the others, this may help motivate some people to work harder to get there article form GA up closer to FA class, because I know for many people the Jump from GA to FA class is a big one that requires a lot of work and more knowledge of the subject and Wikipedia. I see so many people with the little FA and GA Thumbnail pic's, on there user page showing off how many articles they have worked on and such. they have become a little like the Barnstars people give one another, becoming a little like s bag of merit or some thing. I think Wikipedia most Valuable resource would be the people that edit it, more than just the people that edit one line of text, but the people that have passion for a subject and given the right positive reinforcement will become vary productive Wikipedians. So what I would like is to have a "Talk" about this with other Wikipeadia members who may have ideas or experence with some thing like this, Do you think you could help me out? Max 14:55, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
Surprise!
SignpostFixed; thanks. Ral315 » 05:28, 17 April 2007 (UTC) ArizonaWhy did I get a sandbox message, could you please explain to me why my change was not legitimate? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 141.161.68.83 (talk • contribs) 02:37, 18 April 2007 (UTC). 2006AHSI reverted the importance drop you made to this particular article. Reason is seasonal articles are fairly important to the project, in of and as of themselves. This means all post-1950 seasons (when they have an individual article) are at least mid-class. Given that, any change to the uninteresting seasons should go to project talk, but my opinion is that they should stay at least mid-class, due to significance to WPTC (much more so than the typical low-class storm).--Nilfanion (talk) 15:48, 18 April 2007 (UTC) Hi Titoxd: I'm done copyediting the above. I did leave a few inline comments; one of my concerns was the passive sentences to the effect that "Dvorak classifications began to be employed...". They need to start with who used them, not for fact's sake but for readability. I find the article jargony, but that would need to improved by someone familiar with "convection" and storm "organization" and such. I hope this has helped your FAC bid. –Outriggr § 02:59, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
When is a talk page discussion considered current on wikipedia?I'm under the impression that as long as a discussion is still located on a talk page, and not an archive, that it is still active. Some articles get very little traffic for months at a time. Is this idea incorrect? I'd rather not have this type of conversation on wikipedia on the regular basis. It may be revealing about the people involved in the discussion, but it does distract us from contributing. Thegreatdr 06:31, 21 April 2007 (UTC) Excuse me, but where are your so-called accusations of slander? Titoxd(?!? - cool stuff) 07:35, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
Discovered a problem with the WP1.0 template. See that page's talk page for more info. --DachannienTalkContrib 17:54, 21 April 2007 (UTC) MediaWiki problemI almost got transwiki working, however, I can only transwiki from my other local MediaWiki installation and not any Wikimedia project. Here's the code from my LocalSettings.php: /** * List of interwiki prefixes for wikis we'll accept as sources for * Special:Import (for sysops). Since complete page history can be imported, * these should be 'trusted'. * * If a user has the 'import' permission but not the 'importupload' permission, * they will only be able to run imports through this transwiki interface. */ $wgImportSources = array('commons' => 'commons', 'wikibooks' => 'wikibooks', 'w' => 'w', 'wp1' => 'wp1'); 'wp1' refers to another wiki on my localhost - however, when I try to import from Wikimedia Commons, Wikibooks, or Wikipedia (defined as 'w' in my interwiki, it says "Couldn't open import file". what do I need to do to fix this?? Thanks, --SunStar Net talk 20:50, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Your GA nomination of Tropical Storm Jerry (1995)The article Tropical Storm Jerry (1995) you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold. It hasn't failed because it's basically a good article, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within seven days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:Tropical Storm Jerry (1995) for things needed to be addressed. Merzbow 03:49, 24 April 2007 (UTC) Wikimania 2007?Hi Tito, I won't be able to go to Wikimania this year - last year the conference was about 8 miles from where I was teaching, this year it's more than 8000 miles away. I don't think I can just pop out of class to go to Taiwan. The organizers would really like to have someone giving a presentation on the 1.0 project, and it seems to me that you would be the best choice - very few people know as much about the "inside" of the project. OK, so Taipei is quite a distance, but I think you'd have a great time if you can go. As for finances, I think there is a lot of financial support for people in your position, I wouldn't be surprised if you could get all of your costs covered (that's a guess, nothing more!). So PLEASE think about going! Last year it was a fantastic place to "network" - it was like a dream come true to sit down to lunch with Anthere, Delphine, Kirill, Kelson (French WP1.0) and Tomasz (Polish WP1.0) all grouped around the same table! As you can see from that list, many people traveled thousands of miles to attend, but the contacts made have proven critical for the development of the 1.0 project. Also, I haven't forgotten your request for more background stuff on the 1.0 project to blog about. I've been very busy over the last month, but this task has risen to near the top of my "to-do list." If there's a specific topic you want me to comment on, please let me know. Once we get MartinBotII working, I'd love to see a blog on that - I think it's very exciting, quite groundbreaking actually. You've done a great job so far - you write really well! Cheers, Walkerma 17:36, 24 April 2007 (UTC) Review work for Version 0.7Hi Tito, I know you're busy, but the release & subsequent press coverage of Version 0.5 is giving us some new people at the 1.0 team, including some people signing on as reviewers. As one of our few experienced reviewers still around, do you think you could help out a bit at Wikipedia:Release_Version_Nominations, and also welcome/guide our newbies? V0.7 has been in the doldrums for a long time, but this could give it the kick it needs to get going nicely - and with all the press exposure we need to make sure that it does. There's no turning back now! I'm really busy at work still, and much of my spare time is spent dealing with the PR part of things. I'd really appreciate some help, even if it's just for a few days. Thanks! Walkerma 06:22, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
Thanks... I keep forgetting to select the license. Grandmasterka 08:14, 27 April 2007 (UTC) Hi Titoxd. On the global warming FAR you noted the article "needs to have some sort of discussion about political and societal effects of GW." I agree with you and tried to add some myself in the last few sections; I don't think it needs a lot given all the sub-articles, but at least a nod in predictable directions. Ref formatting has also been taken care of. Do you feel it is improved wrt to 1b and 1c? Marskell 08:36, 2 May 2007 (UTC) Hola Titoxd
La gente no ama la justicia, es lamentable, ahi se demuestra quién es justo y quién es injusto. Ni minsdpillage, ni Jon ni nadie. La permisividad significa que toleran la crueldad en wikiquote. Cuando te bloquean y discutes el bloqueo nadie responde ni te hace caso. Puse las citas sobre la ciencia, pero luego son otros lo que se quieren llevar las medallas y aprovecharse como es el gobierno español. Se benefician de ello, pero nada hacen por recompensarme ni por agradecérmelo, Y eso que es un gobierno que lo deben administrar gente inteligente, responsable y madura, digo yo. Aquí se ve lo que es un gobierno y ahi se ve cómo no hay ninguna justicia, no hay calidad. Esto queda registrado, el grupo PRISA dicen que está detrás, mira cómo en las citas, Jimmy Wales se apoya en el grupo PRISA, esto canta por sí solo. Montones de neonazis y de pornógrafos, enemigos del conocimiento en wikipedia. Jimmy debería tener valor y autoridad, y no tener miedo de desagradar a los indecentes y expulsar a los nazis y fascistas como Drini. Te aseguro que mi sangre va a ser vengada por esta tolerancia, tal como una persona que viola o asesina a otra debe ser castigada. Tengo suficiente cabeza para darme cuenta de todo y de cómo es la gente. La gente en estos tiempos es sumamente desagradecida, e incluso los gobiernos lo son, ya no hay talante ni nobles acciones. Pocos hombres y mujeres justos quedan ya. Ves a leer el mensaje de la Biblia. Gracias a las citas de ciencia es el año de la ciencia en españa. ¿Qué comunidad local tiene autoridad? ¿el gobierno?, el clero está rabioso por no saber editar la Biblia ni enseñarla, nunca desearon defenderla. ¿Se me recompensa de algún modo?, ¿nadie tiene autoridad por encima de este despiadado, cruel y malicioso individuo Drini o Petronas que me bloquearon? --Pediaknowledge 01:03, 26 June 2007 (UTC) SPATRArefI noticed that you were the author (and only editor) of the SPATRAref template. Tonight I made a slight change to the template that I think improves the flow of the text. Here's what {{SPATRAref|Portada|3 May 2007}} looks like now: Template:SPATRAref If you think I've butchered it, go ahead and revert me (I promise I won't be upset), but I think it's more elegant and easier to understand this way. Note that I've kept the parameters' numbers the same (article name as {{1}}, date as {{2}}) for backwards compatibility. ``` W i k i W i s t a h W a s s a p 00:28, 4 May 2007 (UTC) Request to restore categoriesHi, could you restore Category:GA-Class sports articles and Category:Unassessed sports articles from WP:SPORTS that has been deleted? Thanks Carlosguitar 08:59, 5 May 2007 (UTC) You have not been blocked for 1 second for stuffing beans up your nosePlease consider eating them next time instead, even if it gives you gas. :) -- nae'blis 04:00, 8 May 2007 (UTC) Hurricane FACsWelcome back :-) It wasn't a popular opinion (that is, 10KB prose minimum), so I think the small storms are safe :-) SandyGeorgia (Talk) 11:34, 8 May 2007 (UTC) Copyedit needed1997-98 South Pacific cyclone season :) Mitchazenia 20:45, 8 May 2007 (UTC) I added the Importance assessment because many people like to go in and make biased assessments on their own. Erabee has continually been making "High" and "Top" recomendations on B-class articles for minor Russian cities. I've been replacing them with "Mid" and holding them for later versions. Diez2 21:54, 9 May 2007 (UTC) UnblockingJust wanted to say thanks a lot. Daisy-berkowitz 22:19, 17 May 2007 (UTC) IRC meeting to discuss Version 0.7Tito, will you be joining us on IRC today (Sun)? We'd really appreciate your input. Also if you could find time look at this discussion on defining scope of 0.7, and then vote on the proposals, it would be great. Thanks! Walkerma 04:57, 27 May 2007 (UTC) Template mistakeSorry about that, I was looking/copying some of the code to see how it worked, and I think I accidentally saved that one. Judgesurreal777 05:27, 27 May 2007 (UTC) Historical Notability document restorationCould you (as deleter) please restore Wikipedia:List of ways to verify notability of articles to User:SMcCandlish/List of ways to verify notability of articles? As you can see from Wikipedia:Notability/Historical I'm working (slowly) on a comprehensive history of the topic on Wikipedia, and this document might have some relevance (I'm not sure it does; the MfD on it was not favorable at all... :-) Review WT:FAC commentsI noticed you stopped by this thread briefly. I'm wondering if User:Epbr123 needs a not-quite-warning-but-still-stern-note from a disinterested admin regarding civility and AGF. I thought that's what I was providing myself with my longish comment toward the bottom, but got slapped around for it. Marskell 13:26, 28 May 2007 (UTC) Sedona cleanupThanks! Looks nice. Cheers, Pete Tillman 20:30, 29 May 2007 (UTC) IPA TemplateI believe you closed the discussion on {{User ipa}} far too early. Others may be interested in commenting, and I certainly had responses to those comments that came after mine. Plus, the consistency argument is flawed. If it makes no sense to have an N-level for writing systems then we should delete all N-level boxes for writing systems. That it would be a lot of work is no argument against this. I've been overhauling philosophy of time and related pages for months, slowly doing research and making minor alterations. I'm sure many others have done long-term projects, as well. That's our job as editors. Postmodern Beatnik 16:56, 30 May 2007 (UTC) Hello, An Arbitration case in which you commented has been opened: Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Badlydrawnjeff. Please add any evidence you may wish the arbitrators to consider to the evidence sub-page, Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Badlydrawnjeff/Evidence. You may also contribute to the case on the workshop sub-page, Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Badlydrawnjeff/Workshop. On behalf of the Arbitration Committee, David Mestel(Talk) 18:57, 30 May 2007 (UTC) re:Civility warningTitoxd, with all due respect, you should be made aware of the innumerable amounts of incivility that Dev has shown during the debate. She has refused to accept any piece of evidence that I presented to her, she has an ageist attitude against me, she has called me immature, etc. Surely anyone would understand that both of us are guilty of incivility to an extent. The Esperanza debate has been drawn out for too long.--Ed ¿Cómo estás? 18:44, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image (Image:Jimbo_deleted.png)Thanks for uploading Image:Jimbo_deleted.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media). If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Thanks for your comments at my FAC. —Twigboy 02:57, 2 June 2007 (UTC) Thanks for the help you've provided over the past year and a half on wikipediaThegreatdr has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling at someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Happy editing! What I can do is use the move feature to carry the "Held Article Discussion" page over to the "Held nominations" page, since the Held Nom page seems to be pretty obsolete and inactive. Would that be alright? Diez2 17:15, 2 June 2007 (UTC) UserboxesHello, I was wondering if you could help me format my user page to have userboxes line up on the side like on your page. All attempts by me have so far proven futile. Thanks.-RunningOnBrains 20:59, 3 June 2007 (UTC) Missing image fileHi Tito, I notice that , which is used in the 1.0 template when an article is "orphaned", appears to be missing. Can you see what happened to it? It seems to be used on lots of articles. Sorry you missed IRC, I can send you the transcript if you wish. Walkerma 03:12, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
MeetupHey, I wonder how much interest you think there might be in a Wikipedia meetup in Phoenix. --Spike Wilbury 21:39, 6 June 2007 (UTC) Regarding the above image, you removed the orphaned fair use deletion tag I applied. Your edit summary indicates that based on a discussion at WP:ANI that WP screenshots are considered free and not under fair use. I am unable to locate any such discussion using the search feature at ANI. As I understand it, the WP logo is not freely licensed and if included in an image, that would make the image non-free. Given the above noted image contains the logo, I tagged it for deletion. I know a number of WP screenshots were nominated by me as fair use orphans and subsenquently deleted. I would appreciate you pointing me to the discussions. Thanks.--User:Gay Cdn (talk) (Contr) 21:23, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

1.0 teamHi Tito, Sorry to see that the Tropical Cyclone article didn't make it. Sometimes I think the process can be rather arbitrary, but it's the best process we have. When I read it (or at least the first half!) I didn't see much text needing copyediting. As usual, I have a request - could you keep an eye on things over at WP:1.0 for the next week or so? I'm going away, and I'm not sure if I'll have internet access (possibly for part of the time). I'd be very grateful if you could handle any issues that arise, and keep WP:V0.7N reviews ticking over (Funpika, Ozgod & others have been helpful with these). Hopefully MartinBotII will be able to come online soon - do you know anything about the toolserver updrade? Please let me know, Walkerma 05:12, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi Tito, since we don't have Nilfanion around right now, I figure you're the next best guy to go to for infobox coding. WT:WPTC#Indian_Ocean_tropical_cyclones_-_1-minute_sustained_winds - The IMD uses 3-minute winds, we need to include this in the infobox. The categorisation at the top of the infobox for the IMD would show the storm's strength on the IMD scale (2007 North Indian Ocean cyclone season), maybe with the corresponding colour in the background? Let me know if you can do it, or if we should, as Core just suggested in IRC (and Hink just seconded) - inform him (Nilfanion) and beg him to come back from wikibreak? ;) – Chacor 02:17, 23 June 2007 (UTC) Table class?What is table class? I've never seen it anywhere else aside from Template talk:Most intense Atlantic hurricanes, and it makes the template show up in Category:Unassessed meteorology articles. -RunningOnBrains 06:44, 25 June 2007 (UTC) Can you help?Hi Titoxd, since I noticed you were on, and because you are an admin, I was wondering if you could do something adminny for me - could you please delete the user page of User:SkyBot? Its a bot that is in progress and that I will be running, but I created the userpage for the bot before creating the account. If you could delete it, then I create the account, and then you undelete it, it would be most appreciated. Thanks! Anonymous DissidentTalk 23:43, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
Consolidation of powersHi Tito, I am unsure if you're questioning why I feel that a "separation of powers" is a good system for an organization like Wikipedia, or what I think have been problems with the system as is. For the latter, I actually think Essjay is a fine example. Would his deception have been so acute if he did not wear so many hats? Would it have upset so many people? The answer, I think, is no. If he had been just a bureaucrat, or just an ArbCom member, he would have been asked to step down, and we all probably would have gone back to editing. It's because he was one of the most trusted editors in the community, that it was such a fiasco. Why even put ourselves in the position of having a super-elite of most-trusted users? There are hundreds if not thousands of incredibly trustworthy editors at Wikipedia. So given there are so many trusted users, why not spread it around? A system where there are lots of checks is a stabler system. Why put all our eggs in one basket, when we have so many baskets available? --JayHenry 22:55, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
Curvature of the earth on latitudeThe beauty of using distances in degrees latitude is that it is immune from the earth's curvature...it is always 60 nautical miles. Longitude is quite another matter. Thegreatdr 11:57, 9 July 2007 (UTC) Orphaned non-free image (Image:Dubya deleted.PNG)Thanks for uploading Image:Dubya deleted.PNG.

Thanks for the explanation. So you're saying that, if a user made an edit, it was deleted, and the user was renamed, that deleted edit would still be assigned to the user's original name? Wouldn't that make a big problem if some old revisions were ever restored post-rename of a user involved? Andre (talk) 01:02, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
Question: how to make IP address linkTitoxd, thanks for reverting edits of an anonymous ip address. I see the ip address you type in the edit summary are link. How do I do that? Double square brackets don't do it, singles don't, so, what? Reply on my talk page, i'll find it there. Nastajus 16:30, 19 July 2007 (UTC) I've sent up the Titoxd signal requesting your help! If you could spare a bit of time, I'd love your opinion as I'm not quite as seasoned at the FAC process as you are and a third opinion would be fantastic. Thanks either way!

That is because I recently forgot the password to my old account, User:Theunicyclegirl. Here is my edit count from my old account. I almost have 2000 edits. I frequently revert vandalism by watching Lupin's filtered RCs. I also like to expand stubs, particularly those relating to cats or dogs.

I had a look at a couple of other articles about natural disasters and couldn't see that this editor had made any other similar edits, but I wanted to let you know in case you came across more and we needed to get the editor blocked or something. Cheers, --Sepa 21:12, 21 August 2007 (UTC) Akai's page article almost all gone by user GlassFETUser:GlassFET feels that the Akai article is not well referenced and therefore, almost everything must go. It all started when he deleted a reference to a manual that gives reference to an Akai machine listed there and he converted it into a "footnote". As a contributor, I didn't object. I asked him why though, he said, because the manual is copyrighted, so I didn't object to that answer but felt a "footnote" was probably not needed. Then he erased the word "broke ground" and re-arranged the paragraph (See: [3] and his edits [4]) from the unit's paragraph because there was no reference that can verify that it did "break ground" as a porta studio of its time (1985). So, I found one ref, he dismissed as "not notable" because the link was to a studio page. Then, he told me that I wrote the paragraph on that unit wrong. Which is untrue. I wrote it factual and with the right machine specs. He decided at that point that rather than look for better sources for references, the article should be drastically trim down for lack of references. I think this user wants to meet Wikipedia standards, but also wants to incite me into to losing my civility and to disrupt the normal development of the Akai article. Can you help by making any comments? Thanks. 19:48, 22 August 2007 (UTC) BannedHow do I get unbanned?

The Greatest Hurricane Seasons of All TimeHink and I thought this would be kind of fun. We're going around to some of our resident hurricane enthusiasts and asking them the same question: Worldwide, which season of what basin do you think earns the title 'The Greatest Season of All Time'. List your top five picks with a reason for at least your number one pick. It's not a big deal, but I thought it would be fun and interesting to hear what some of those really into it think. (By the way, nice picture on your userpage. I was just at Bryce Canyon over the summer. It really is an amazing place.) -- §HurricaneERICarchive 22:03, 29 August 2007 (UTC) CVU-TF TemplateHi Tito, and thanks for all the work you've done for the Task Force. Since StatusBot doesn't create each user's status page until the next round of updates, new Task Force members are often displayed with an error message, which breaks the table. Would it be possible to modify the code so that it adds the box, but shades it in a different color to indicate that no status information is available? Cheers! --Ratiocinate (t • c) 15:23, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Chacor / Erin talk pageI'm beginning to wonder if action within Wikipedia needs to be taken. Here is a portion of the Erin talk page which Chacor has been insisting on removing. How does this violate any wikipedia rules? He's claiming vandalism, trolling, and personal attacks. After reading the wikipedia related pages on those topics, any of those three looks like a significant stretch to me. If anything, I think Chacor may be guilty of flame war and personal attacks. No Longer a TDThe HPC has stated that Erin is no longer a depression. For attempting to change the status, I got a nasty comment accusing me of vandalism from Chacor. Is this how the community is supposed to work or am I not "allowed" to make late-breaking changes to topics?

The IP trolled on the talk page, accused me of vandalism when I was properly reverting its own vandalism and warned him for it, and DR sides with the troll, also has made an attack against me. "If anything, I think Chacor may be guilty of flame war and personal attacks." How is this justified at all? – Chacor 14:46, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
I don't have to say a lot, I'll do it in two sentences: I haven't made any attacks, I've tried to remain civil while under attack, I made an appropriate removal of trolling which has been reverted. I've been attacked multiple times - here, on my talk page and here for it, with vague references to me violating Wikipedia policy when I haven't. I don't know what the aim is here, but if this user is trying to drive me off Wikipedia he's pretty darn close. – Chacor 15:33, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
Guys, come onAnd all of this has to occur on the day where I need to drive four hours on a trip? :S Everyone, please chill out. I really believe this is a hurricane in a teacup. I have to walk out the door Real Soon Now, but I'll say this: Doc, I'm not sure the flame war comment was warranted, as Chacor was acting on good faith. Chacor: I'm not sure the "He's trying to drive me off Wikipedia" comment is warranted either; unless you can read his mind, please shut up. On a more general statement, not tied to any particular incident, and pointed to everyone, not just you two: I realize that everyone has users that he or she doesn't like. But if you can't like each other, then try everything to at least get along, no? One thing does need to be said: WikiProject guidelines are supposed to be flexible. There is absolutely no reason to remove good-faith questions from talk pages, or to try to accuse users for making questions or suggestions. There is no need to say to personalize issues and tell users that they "should know better", accusing of original research, name-calling, and all other behavior that gives the appearance of WP:OWN. I see these problems more and more these days, and they are usually justified using unwritten style guidelines, which is not actually convincing, and does make it a WikiProject-wide WP:OWN issue. In many ways, I think that we need to revisit several of our guidelines, and decide whether they really are helpful or not. I'm sorry I can't really try to hash this out today, but I recommend everyone to go to a barbecue or something similar and just relax. Then come back and consider what is necessary to adjust the signal-to-noise ratio in these places nowadays. There is a ton of unnecessary tension right now. Why Can't We Be Friends?
