It's always a delight to read WP:ANI close titles from you; they never disappoint, and I'm glad that a neglected feature of Template:Archive top is finally making a resurgence thanks to you. WP:ANI is not an easy place to work in either, so seeing one of your close titles always brings a smile to a grim page. Thank you. Regards, User:TheDragonFire300.
