I am unhappy with your use of the word "we" in the above comment. In wikipedia, group accounts are also disallowed, and one account is meant to be wholly and only used by one person. Are you preared to accept this stipulation? --Anthony.bradbury^"talk" 19:07, 21 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry - I didn't mean to offend or imply that I am a group account. As a married person, I very often us the term 'we' instead of 'I' as I feel we are one person. Yes, I accept your stipulation.

Hmm... personally, I would have (and perhaps should have?) recommended simply registering a new account, as you really don't have any substantive contributions on this account. 「ダイノガイ千？！」^{? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000} 07:36, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
