User talk:Mmounties/Praise

The advice in the song goes:

Remember compliments you receive. Forget the insults. If you succeed in doing this, tell me how. Keep your old love letters. Throw away your old bank statements.

I usually delete personal messages from the current page after I've replied to them. If anyone, including myself, cares to read them, they are in the edit history. But I've decided to keep some of the random praise I sometimes get, in a transparent attempt to make myself feel better and make myself look good.

Don't let this quirky affectation dissuade you from posting critical comments on my personal talk page. I want to know if you have a problem with my writing or my behavior, so I can explain myself, fix it, or apologize as needed. I just prefer to delete requests and criticism after I've made a satisfactory reply, lest all of it clutter up my personal space too much. Clutter prevention is also why these comments are on a page of their own. --Mmounties 21:19, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Hey, Lucky. Just stopping in to tell you not to worry about the stub creation by Mmounties. She is my mom and a Deutscher to the core. I'm helping her learn how to use Wikipedia and she wants to participate in the translation of lots of German material. Trust me, if she creates an article, she will finish it. See Achern for a final product and Bruchsal for one in progress. I welcome you to check any of her contributions just to be sure, but I'm guiding her along, and she's going to be a huge help for En-De wikipedia translations.

 * Hi! I thought that perhaps there was something more to these articles than met the eye. :) I think it's absolutely wonderful that your mom is participating! Please give her my best and welcome her aboard for me. - Lucky 6.9 23:11, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I almost forgot: Those two articles are gorgeous!! - Lucky 6.9 23:14, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the compliment! Both of you!  --Mmounties 01:56, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

My pleasure!
I've seen so many short articles started and forgotten that I thought that's what was happening here. This is one time that I'm glad to have been proven wrong. Wonderful, wonderful work. - Lucky 6.9 06:59, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
