User talk:JzG
I check in most mornings and most evenings, and occasionally some days during the day. I am on UK time (I can see Greenwich Royal Observatory from my new office). If you post a reply at 8pm EST and get no reply by 10pm, it's likely because I'm asleep. My wiki interests at the moment are limited. I still handle some OTRS tickets.
I am under considerable personal stress at the moment; my father died and I have a lot of other stuff going on in RL including a new job as senior engineer for enterprise storage and virtual infrastructure in a Fortune 500 company. Great job, lots of shiny expensive toys, big responsibility. But Wikipedia is still one of my top hobbies, and I come here to do what I can. I respond much better to polite requests than to demands. People who taunt me with "I dare you to block me" may have cause to regret it, as may I. Don't even think of trying to drag me into one of the many cesspits this project offers, I will likely choose only those disputes where I don't actually care too much. Not coming to your party? It's because I've decided it will make me unhappy. Sorry about that.
Above all, please do not try to provoke me to anger, it's not difficult to do, so it's not in the least bit clever, and experience indicates that some at least who deliberately make my life more miserable than it needs to be, have been banned and stayed that way. Make an effort to assume good faith and let's see if we can't get along. Guy (Help!) 22:16, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

I understand your concerns here, but I don't foresee a consensus to delete. Regardless of the result I was wondering if my (typically 11th-hour) comment on the AFD makes any sense to you, as an alternative to deleting. — CharlotteWebb 18:40, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Hey... Uconnstud (talk) 18:11, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
Your opinion, please.
I hadn't heard of the Jeff Merkey story until just now.
Is anything going to be done about this? As it is, there's clearly enough information for an IRS investigation.
I made a proposal here. [1]
I saw that you were one of the people on Jimmy's talkpage who agreed that brushing it off as no story was ridiculous, so I thought I'd ask for your opinion. ☯ Zenwhat (talk) 02:33, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
Hmm. Wow. When I originally saw Giano's remarks, I thought he was being sarcastic, because of the way he started off:
I'm posting as I want this to be widely read,both inside and outside Wikipedia. I think I am the person with the Wiki-knowledge and standing to say this
So, when you responded that you agreed, only louder -- I misunderstood.
But apparently, Giano was serious, which is insane. And you agreed with him, only louder. ☯ Zenwhat (talk) 13:33, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
An Arbitration case in which you commented has been opened, and is located here.

In response to you
In response to your comment on my userpage [2] . I'm moving off this site. In leaving i'll take a quote directly from you and say that i read what you wrote [3] "Having given this the consideration it merits, f off" [4] . Since its ok for you to use that tone and language, i'm going to quote directly from you. Enjoy your life and all the best! I have now retired! Uconnstud (talk) 18:46, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
- That sounds like the first sensible thing you've done in the last few days. Guy (Help!) 22:25, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Framework for clarification
Hi: I have created a "framework for clarification" to help resolve the editorial conflicts at the Temple Shalom of Northwest Arkansas page, see Talk:Temple Shalom of Northwest Arkansas#Framework for clarification that should help deal with this. Thanks, IZAK (talk) 22:47, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
Cure-C-Cure
My LBS told me that a lot of people swear by Cure-C-Cure puncture repair kits and being new to the world of road biking I did some Googling to substantiate this. Lo and behold, I came across http://www.cyclingforums.com/showthread.php?t=93278 when I noticed a post by "Just Zis Guy" -- hang on a sec -- I recognize that handle! What a small world indeed. = P So, would you mind telling me why you think Rema makes better kits? -- Netsnipe ► 13:17, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- The Rema kit is the better kit, in my experience, the glue is better , the patches have a finer feather edge and are thinner, so they stretch better with the tube, and overall I find they are more likely to work first time. But I have an old box of Cure-C-Cure as well, and use them mainly on mountain bike tyres, largely without any problems. Guy (Help!) 13:30, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
Move protection and AN/I reports
Just FYI. Your recent move and protection of State terrorism and the United States has been brought up here. --Onorem♠Dil 16:35, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
Encouragement
It has been some exceptionally trying times for you lately (to greatly understate it), and now you appear to be facing a whirlwind from all possible fronts. So I hope to offer you some words of encouragement. Look up. Up. Best, El_C 17:17, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
Arbitration
I have named you as an involved party at Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration#9/11 conspiracy theories. Ice Cold Beer (talk) 22:17, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- If you would prefer, I can remove you as a listed party. I thought that you might want to participate in the RFAR because you had chimed in during the mediation case. Ice Cold Beer (talk) 22:37, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
Are you certain about this?
JzG, this User:Shii/ED deletion seems well beyond the scope of the DRV to me, this was pending at MfD but was suspended, my understanding was it was suspended b/c if DRV allowed creation, the draft would be moot, not if they kept it deleted. This seems to me to suggest Shii can't continue to work on it, which I didn't even see discussed in the the DRV (except by a few editors who claimed we could never have an article on this, which position most certainly did not have consensus). I really have no concern for this (proposed) article except that I was cleaning up closed cases at MfD and ran across this. If there is discussion of this elsewhere (I see you deleted it twice but don't see any discussion between you and Shii - maybe I just can't find it), please point me to it as this is a bit confusing to me. Thanks.--Doug.(talk • contribs) 19:33, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
