User talk:Toh

Hi. Nice job on the cork taint page. I wrote the first version, mostly using the Oxford Companion to Wine as a source, but you did a much better job. Keep up the good work! Wnissen 03:46, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Thanks on Vegetable oil ... Nice piece of syntax. -- Dbroadwell 21:15, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Redfaced
And a small suggestion. If you write at least something on your User page, your signature will become a pleasant blue. Oleg Alexandrov 01:29, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)


 * On the other hand, keeping it red makes it much easier to find my own comments on a talk page thick with them - such as this one is becoming. ;) But if you find it truly obnoxious, perhaps I can dream up some filler. - toh


 * You made me have some good laughs! Oleg Alexandrov 02:07, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Acoustic cleaning and wiki links
Hello Toh, Thank you for the input and apologies for having created work for you. Although i thought that some of the links were more constructive than others, for instance the link from cement and the cleaning of cement silos is i believe constructive, i am happy to follow your suggestions.

This is what i have done to try and rectify some of the questions you raised

a. Silo cleaning...i have raised the issue on the discussion page.I think i can move some way towards a NPOV but ideally i will get input from other contributors who will know more.

b. Acoustic cleaning....not sure this article can ever be truly neutral, almost by definition. If you look on the discussion page you will see that i have cross referenced another wiki page where a similar issue has arisen ( not one i was involved with!)

c. Finally where i think that internal links will be valuable probably better to suggest on discussion page 1st and see what response is...for example Fletcher Christian. Suspect this is now too long a note so will sign off

Higgs boson consensus vote
There is currently a vote on the Higgs boson talk page over whether or not to merge the pop culture references article with the main article. I noticed you've previously contributed to the debate, so your vote would be helpful in establishing a consensus (or, perhaps, a vote of "no consensus", in which case the problem will be referred to AfD). Thanks! -DMurphy 21:36, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Recreation, addiction, and self-destruction
Recreational use of drugs is not self-destruction. Many people lead very fulfilling lives as addicts. Please change your opinion in the oxycontin discussion page, as you are stating a rather ill informed opinion. Granted, it is a discussion page, but you're a very eloquent and concise writer, and I'd hate for you to let your emotions cloud otherwise very useful input. - Never — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.88.179.74 (talk)


 * Hi Never - You may be surprised to find that I essentially agree with you. In fact I had thought my comment to be an argument for neutrality, but I now see that the parenthetical juxtaposition "used for recreation (or self-destruction)," is a bit too concise. I had intended the "or" to imply that not all recreational, or even addictive behaviour was necessarily self-destructive, which I think is also the gist of your argument. I don't like to edit or delete discussions and I do think that the subsequent sentences serve to clarify, but given your concern I've added a small subcomment. Whether I can mitigate my general abuse of parentheses is a question I'll take forward.


 * My own view of the broader topic is that addiction potential is a facet of most behaviour, and that most people in a leisured culture will manage multiple addictions of various modalities at various times in their lives.


 * As a side note, you appear to have a good deal to offer on a difficult and taboo subject, not to mention a restrained and open-minded stance that typically works very well on this site. I'd encourage to you create an account, or remain signed in if you already have one. The personal rewards of doing so aren't obvious at first, but they become tangible over time. - toh 20:07, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
