Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. HasteurBot (talk) 08:02, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

Go ahead and delete it. It was made quite clear to me that Wikipedia was going to promote specific directories, while not allowing others in. I think it's sort of crazy to have a category that leaves out some of the better known directories while breaking all the rules for certain ones, which are exempted but having no financial interest in the matter, I am not going to fight it further. I can see why Wikipedia is losing credibility, however.

Hi, Ken!
Hi, KFAnder! No particular reason for this note, mostly "long time no see". I stumbled across your page here and remembered that I know you. You may remember me as a fellow DMoz Meta from way back when. I left right about the time you and Laisha were tying the knot; which, I must admit, was very romantic and inspiring. Since then, Wikipedia has been most of my online contributions, you can see my user page, here and on Commons. I guess Laisha herself doesn't contribute here? I hope she and you are well. ORLady is also around here, though we don't interact much; she's picked up the admin mop, and I haven't. Best to you and yours. --GRuban (talk) 19:11, 18 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Of course, I remember you, and hope all is well. Michelle (Laisha) and I are still together. Kfander (talk) 20:34, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
