Man these guys (including bots) think I'm totally new. I've got an account and even without it I've made loads of edits. You forget to sign once and they're all over yeh.
Actually I liked that you do vandal fighting. I hadn't even noticed an unsigned message. Rgoodermote  21:21, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

It's just a shame wikipedians don't have a sense of humour anymore. We used to be able to Rickroll anyone the heck we wanted. It just shows that the guidelines still need work to allow for an occasional harmless joke. 24.226.77.23 (talk) 22:50, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
You might have gotten away with it longer if you hadn't tried to remove the autosignature. That's what got my attention. --Art Smart (talk) 23:02, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
Well, the point was that I know a GK supporter who strongly believes Kasparov will join the chess world once again, and he'll be looking at that page early tomorrow. Trouble is, he's memorized my IP. I suppose it woulda been easier just to sign in to my account though. 24.226.77.23 (talk) 23:13, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
