 * Thanks Telly. I only registered because I saw someone not recognize a common use of a word in a discussion, and I want to leave a link to a widely recognized definition. Most of my peers and I have already concluded this isn't a place we "like" or prefer to "stay". I prefer to work in a more civil and professional setting, but if I can find any other simple contribution I can offer without being attacked, I'll consider it.

 * It's a large place, with thousands of contributors, so you will find both ogres and angels. However, you write very well, and would be welcome. AnonEMouse (squeak) 22:34, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Sorry for the grandiouse ego, but I know I write well. I know because I'm welcome in many venues, if I offer approaches preferred in those venues. I tend to select venues where I can make a meaningful difference, and not get scratched up too badly. Jill Hemphill 22:38, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your response. You expressed exactly the same concerns that I have previously expressed in discussions of certain biographical articles. I am sorry that you feel you will be attacked for expressing an opinion -- I didn't think we were so unfriendly a bunch as that.

In any case, thank you for your input, and I hope you decide to stay a little while. Robert A.West (Talk) 22:39, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
