A Welcome from me, as well...
Hi KayeT, I saw your message in the Theresa Knott talk page... I'm glad to see more people taking an interest in Wikipedia and especially in the issues surrounding the Justin Berry article. One tip I might offer is to end your talk page comments (both on users' talk pages and in the talk pages on articles) with &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; which automatically inserts your name and the date & time of your comment. This lets people (like me) get back to your user page & talk page easily. I share your appreciation of Theresa Knott's manner in addressing opposing comments on the Justin Berry talk page. As a moral point I disagree with her that a person should be excluded from editing such articles because they are a self-confessed pedophile. It's not that I stick up for pedophiles, but rather that such an exclusion goes against the Five Pillars of Wikipedia and doesn't assume good faith on the part of editors. Perhaps because we disagree on this point, I hold her in high regard for keeping her tongue in a very difficult & emotionally charged situation, one which has tempted many others into heated responses.

Anyway, I was mainly writing to say welcome and to offer my input. I hope you find contributing here as enjoyable as I have. SteveB 03:35, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
