talk page etiquette
I saw your comment on talk page etiquette at User talk:96.27.77.81 while commenting on an unrelated matter and figured I'd point something out - purging comments off your own talk page as the anonymous user did is not actually a violation of talk page policy or etiquette. It's not generally okay to delete other peoples comments, but there is a categorical exception for comments on your own talk page, even when the comments are warnings or statements of concern. It's not like it is a big deal in this context or anything, but I figured I would let you know. The exception is detailed on the same page you linked in your comment.

 * I thought about just deleting your comment above in an attempt at ironic humor, but decided to reply instead, lol.
 * Technically, you're right. However, what the IP user deleted was a previous conversation in which he was called to task for some poor editing behaviors. He did this immediately after yet another user had questioned him for repeatedly doing the exactly same thing in many more articles, obviously thinking no one would notice and he could claim ignorance. He may not have violated the letter of the policy, but he certainly violated its spirit. Zeng8r (talk) 00:18, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
 * update And just now, the user restored the discussion in question that he'd removed weeks ago. Odd. Zeng8r (talk) 13:06, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

Severe weather in Tampa
Just dropping by to say hello. I heard you guys were hit hard by severe weather in the area yesterday. I hope you and your family are safe. Cheers! --Moreau36--Discuss 19:31, 1 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks! That was the worst non-tropical weather day I've seen in years, but thankfully no serious injuries around the area. There were 9 confirmed tornadoes, tho. If you're interested, there's a detailed NOAA report here. Zeng8r (talk) 22:41, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
