I've been more or less away from editing for a few years. Now that I'm retired, I'll add to articles here and there. CTSWyneken (talk) 16:53, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
Although we have not always seen eye-to-eye on outcomes or methods, I appreciate your resiliency of spirit and your graciousness in accepting that (for now at least) things have not turned out as you would have liked. I wish you many happy edits and I hope you will let me know if I may be of service to you in the future. Johntex\talk 22:02, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
