[edit] Welcome
Hi Paul, welcome to Wikipedia. Thanks for your recent help cleaning up typos etc on the John Howard and John Farnham articles. I don't know if you're Australian but I thought you might be since you've edited some Australian-themed articles. If you are, there is an Australian notice board here. Also, each of the capital cities have a dedicated project page. For example, this is Melbourne's project page. These pages are usually a good place to connect with other Australians and even non-Australians who just have a particular interest in Australia. If you're not actually Australian, you can just ignore all that! Also, if you would like your username to change from red to blue, just add something to your userpage here: Paul Foxworthy. You can post anything you want there as long as it doesn't breach any Wikipedia policies. There's some more information on userpages and what you can write on them here. It doesn't matter if you don't want to but I just thought I'd let you know because a lot people who monitor recent changes view redlinked names as a sign of "newbiness." In any case, welcome to Wikipedia--it's always nice to have a new editor on board who can actually spell! :). Please feel free to post on my talk page if there's anything I can help you out with.

[edit] Sequiturs and catfish
Hi. I've been trying to track down the provenance of a saying: "Life is just one non sequitur after catfish." Some net searching indicates you were using it in your usenet .sig in the early 90s---did you originate it? If not, any recollection where you got it from? /blahedo (t) 03:10, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
