My RfA:
Thank you so very much for voting support in my RfA. However, I have withdrawn due to reasons that a stressed user would withdraw under. I'm sorry I have failed you & your expectations. Thanks, Spawn Man 08:58, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks
Hi there Halo... Thanks a lot for your kind words and 100% support during my recent RFA! I am sorry for the delay in getting back but part of the reason was that I am not good at making templates and partly I wanted to drop a personal thank you note. Those are quite impressive contributions you have listed on your page!! Do let me know if I can be of assistance to you at any time -- Lost (talk) 17:00, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Response
Halo, stop being such a good editor. It's annoying. Go and vandalize, or troll, for a change. Or launch a personal attack. Or be incivil. Something I could tick you off for. But to be confronted with such a model of excellence is seriously a pain. ARRGH!!

Anyway, homely foolery (Shakespeare, would you believe) over - naw, I didn't think you were having a go at me. I'd made a foolish comment and felt I needed to apologise, and to clarify my other comments - what I really felt were the problems at that damned RFA, which seemed to have caused a lot more kerfuffle than it's worth. If adminship's no big deal, at what price should we put a mere RFA...anyway. Yep, all's well in my little corner of the Universe that is forever Moreschi. Your post is appreciated - just confirms my high opinion of you as an editor and admin that shall be hereafter (O.K, time to stop, this is getting pretentious). See you round.

Article about Wikipedia Users
I am a freelance writer working on an article about the wide array of people who make Wikipedia their life, their passion, their pastime. Wikipedia “addicts” if you will. I’m looking for people just willing to tell their story of how they got sucked into the intellectual whirlwind that is Wikipedia; how you got started editing, how the obsession grew, and what you spend your time focusing on these days? Do you write articles from scratch? Is your main push toward one particular type of article? Do you patrol for typos and errors, or spend your time diligently fixing vandalism? Do you take part in the “social aspects” of Wikipedia; engaging in animated discussions or decorating your user page with all sorts of internet memes? Have you ever forced yourself to take a “Wikipedia break”? If so, what’s your 20/20 hindsight on the obsession? Basically I’m just trying to get an idea of what it’s like for various Wikipedia “addicts.” I'm particularly interested in speaking to you about your thoughts on Esperanza and the Wikipedia Kindness Campaign. If you are interested in participating, please email me at xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 68.39.158.205 03:09, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

thank you
 Thank you for your support... Thank you ever so much, The Halo, for your kind words and understanding in my time of need. I deeply appreciate your support, and I hope to be there for you, should you ever need help. — Kyok o Hello The Halo, and thanks for your kind words. I wish I wasn't so fragile and that we didn't keep corresponding with each other only in times of need. I wasn't always this way, you know. Thanks again. -- Kyok o 14:37, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!
Thank you for that very interesting quote you left me on my talk page. In appreciation, I leave you the kindness award, in which you receive the apple =) .--E d  ¿Cómo estás? 02:00, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Hey


has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling to someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Smile to others by adding {{subst:smile}}, {{subst:smile2}} or {{subst:smile3}} to their talk page with a friendly message. Happy editing! Hope the EA MfD isn't stressing you out too much, eh? riana_dzasta 12:07, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Heh, they wouldn't dare! I understand that it's a lot of work, but I'm glad to see you sticking to your guns (unlike the multiple people who decided to leave today). At least the MfD is bringing some potential problems out into the open... riana_dzasta 12:15, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I like how you prefix my exams with 'nicer things'... :p One down, two to go. Biology was pretty good, I only guessed about 5 questions out of 75, so that's - good enough. Still got Chemistry (easy) and Maths (shudder) left to go, though. How've you been? riana_dzasta 12:45, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Wow, that sounds pretty neat. Hope you enjoy that! I'm outta here now, it's late, but don't let 'em get ya down, k? Take care :) riana_dzasta 12:59, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Birthday
You're only ten months older than I am?!? (And you sound so much older…) And for the non-mother sound: "Dude, ur only a year older than me! Cool, rock on!" ;) &mdash;  $PЯINGrαgђ Always loyal! 00:02, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Banes
Hi, I noticed you closed down Banes's user page and archived his discussions. I was unaware that he had left Wikipedia, do you have any idea on what the reason was? Thanks, &mdash;  Imp i  15:01, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Indeed, Daniel didn't say anything about it from looking at his last few contribs... (Which are only a few days old) K <font color="#7D1B7E">O <font color="#6D7B8D ">S | <font color="#461B7E">talk 21:58, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * How sad, I haven't talked to Daniel in quite a few days, last thing he told me was that life was great, and that he was on holiday. Oh well, I took a 4 month break, and became a better editor because of it, maybe the same will be true for him as well. Thanks for the reply. <font color="#151B8D">K <font color="#7D1B7E">O <font color="#6D7B8D ">S | <font color="#461B7E">talk 05:06, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Sometimes it's better to bow out like that, rather than dragging it out. Anyway, thanks for the reply, hopefully he will decide to return someday. &mdash;  Imp i  07:58, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm glad you enjoy my comments.
I'm even more hilarious in IRC, though. --<font face="Verdana"><font color="SteelBlue">Elar a <font color="SteelBlue">girl  Talk 14:14, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Your support
I have to say that given the recent Esperanza discussions, that your support on my RfA means a lot to me. If successful, I hope to justify your support. Thanks, —Doug Bell talk 14:30, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Don't mention it. I truely think you have the qualities that a good admin should have. I fact, the Esperanza discussions were one of the main reasons I did support, as you made reasonable arguements (although I don't agree with some of them ;) and followed through with what you thought was best for Wikipedia, which I hope even the most die-hard Esperanza supporter couldn't find you at fault for. I wish you the best of luck with the RfA :) Th ε Halo Θ 14:42, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Well done anyway
Hey Halo,

I know this has been a really stressful time for you, but thank you for staying with your convictions and working hard through this restructuring. Your opinions are always helpful and appreciated, and I hope you continue to participate! We'll miss you in the AC (if it stays around), so thanks for your hard work. -- Nataly a 19:57, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks. :) Have a lovely weekend, Halo, I hope it's a very nice break.  Good luck with everything! -- Nataly a  16:29, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Banes?
Do you know what happened to banes? I noticed that you were the one who put the retired sticker on his userpage. But I can't seem to find where he announced he was retiring. I hope he is okay. Please let me know if you don't mind. Thanks.__<font face="Vivaldi" color="darkblue" size="4">Seadog ♪  20:07, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

LIVE IRC CHARTER DEBATE
There are many proposals to change the charter floating around Esperanza right now. Let's talk about all of them in an Esperanza IRC charter "debate". I believe a good time would be exactly one week from today. In US Eastern Time, 5:30pm, next week, on Friday. What do you think?

Oh dear...
Medical problems, eh? That's no good! Chicken soup is, though :) Get better soon, Halo, and stay strong! riana_dzasta 08:01, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm great, thanks! :) I'm leaving for India in a week 6 days, so I'm looking forward to that :) I hope you're feeling better. riana_dzasta 12:44, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Will this get me blocked?
If only your friend was still an admin, then all your worries would be over.-- Wokid   MM  01:56, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Hey!
Haven't seen you around in a while :) Just popped into say, I'm getting better/happier after that incident, and I hope you are too. Get well soon! Will (Tell me, is something eluding you, Sunshine?) 02:37, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Re: your message
I'm not really feeling well either. I'll try to work out how to word my wall of text without laying too much blame on your sister. (While she isn't entirely to blame for what happened, she isn't innocent either) Will (Tell me, is something eluding you, Sunshine?) 15:42, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Get Well Wishes
Hi Halo, I'm not sure whether your last message was thanking me for wishing you well for your physical ailments, or if you were wishing me well for my emotional problems, but anyway, thank you. As a side note, I hope that I haven't hurt your feelings (or the feelings of the other AC members) in the discussions about how to reform Esperanza. I strongly believe in maintaining something on Wikipedia that acts as a resource for help and support, even though our personal approaches to this goal may differ. I hope you feel better soon. -- Kyok <font color="green" face="zapfino">o 04:48, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Request for clarification
Sir, I regret to bother you with this at this no doubt difficult time for you, and my sincerest hopes that your current circumstances resolve themselves quite happily. I am in the process of trying to ensure that some of the more deserving individuals in wikipedia are included in this years honors list, particularly those whose work has been of exceptional value to wikipedia. One editor who has much to our loss been forced to leave wikipedia by outside circumstances is I believe more than deserving of receiving the OBF for extraordinary work regarding the Cats project, that being as close to the OBE as I can likely get without copyright problems. It also occurs to me that some sort of official, if even post-retirement, promotion would be called for should this individual receive this recognition. It is my understanding that you may be more familiar with this most deserving person than I am, and I would appreciate any information you might be able to give me as to which particular service this individual refers to in their name, so that we can, if only post-retirement, give this deserving individual the honors that they are due. With your approval, and, hopefully, the implicit approval of the person referred to above, I believe that I wouldn't receive much difficulty if I were to move the person's userpage to reflect the promotion that they so clearly deserve, and, frankly, damn the torpedoes if I do. Badbilltucker 15:50, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Again, eh?
Unbelievable. Wikibooks is still open to you guys... maybe just leave it as a redirect and move? Wikiversity is a fun place too, by the way. Perhaps you could have different subpages for monitoring wikistrees on all of the en projects. As I said before, inter-project relations could use some help (even campy help!) -- SB_Johnny |talk|books 17:39, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Well wishes for recovery
Recovering from surgery? Eek! I hope you are healing well! -- Nataly a 15:48, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for sticking through all the discussions too; it was always nice to see that when things were getting heated you would come in with some rational thought and speak the truth and calm things down. Hope you had a great holiday too!  And thanks for all the good Esperanza times, while things were still going well it was nice. -- Nataly a  17:14, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Get Well Soon
Hope you get well soon!! Can you also tell me what happened to Esperanza? Thx. -- The Updater 23:56, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Get well soon
(to *GASP* use a dead clichè) Anyway, recover quick; we miss you! &mdash; <font style="background:#808;color:#fff;"> $PЯINGrαgђ  Still an Esperanzan  and always loyal! 19:29, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Welcome back!!!
I've been thinking about ya. Back to yourself now? -- SB_Johnny |talk|books 22:42, 16 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, no pressure on the wikibooks thing from me :-). I'm actually spending most of my time on commons and wikiversity these days as wikibooks has been more a chore than a pleasure of late. I'm just glad you're feeling better... keep in touch! -- SB_Johnny |talk|books 00:22, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Re: A Cookie!
Many thanks, Halo! Thanks for giving me a smile just when I needed it. :D Mmmmmmm... cookies. It's great to see that you're back, I hope your recovery is going/went well? Enjoy your editing around here, we will surely be glad to have you back. -- Nataly a 03:55, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
