[edit] Hey Mr. Cliff! :)

Sweet Cliff, I'm having one hell of a day, and I have a draft saved to mail you - I swear I'll drop by your mailbox tomorrow, and I'll start working on a new sig for you (tho I love your current one! ;) Mwah, Phaedriel
01:34, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

It is rather famous isn't it? ;) —  $PЯINGrαgђ  02:52, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

I visited your mailbox today, sweetie. I'll tamper with your sig for a while and see what comes out in the process ;) Love, Phaedriel - 02:01, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. It's gotten to the point where I have to work on my e-mails in Microsoft Word before I send them. ;) Actually if you could just find a way to redice the code from the projected one at my sig page—which I must say it took me a lot of using "show preview" before I got it even to where it is now. ;) —  $PЯINGrαgђ  03:41, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

does someone want 2 tell me how 2 costomize my user page??? thnx Gametimegirl***8***

[edit] Protection

Hmmm, well, I think it's a bit unfair to have my page protected just because I can do it myself - and anyway, if the vandals are distracted there, they won't be screwing up articles, right? :) How're you? – Riana_ऋ 04:08, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!

Hey, Spring!

Thanks for the St. Patrick's Day card! It was very lovely, and I reciprocate the greetings for you and your family! (How are the newborns? Doing well?)

I apologize that this is so sadly overdue, as I am still on a Wikibreak while my health improves. I wish you all the best! --lovelaughterlife♥^talk? 23:14, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Esperanza and stress

Hi Spring, at the moment I'm not very stressed by the mediation, but earlier it was stressful. It may still cause me stress, we'll see. Have you been following the mediation? I would like to think that I've been very patient in the matter. I'm disappointed that Esperanza may now be more known for this dispute than anything else. --Kyoko 13:01, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Hmm, maybe I'm more stressed by it that I thought. I should have thanked you in my prior message, so: thank you for thinking about me. How are you? --Kyoko 13:39, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

The mediation seems kind of…strange I guess. But I don't think I will join it unless I absolutely need to (and right now I can't really think of any way it could turn that I would). As for how I'm doing—tired as usual, but good. I will be minimally active starting this weekend and ending the end of May or the beginning of June: my sister is getting married and I will be doing a lot of little traveling, all here in California. So I guess you could say I'll be a little busy. ;) —  $PЯINGrαgђ  16:07, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I'm glad to hear that you are doing better. Congratulations to your sister! Oh, and could you please update your User:Springeragh/Friends page? It still lists me under "Tachikoma". I'm not bold enough to do it myself. Thanks! And have fun travelling! --Kyoko 16:14, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

I most certainly will. ;) Don't be afraid to fix errors, etc. on peoples' pages—well, mine at least—if you see them; it helps the project. —  $PЯINGrαgђ  18:30, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What has two thumbs and does give a crap?

User:Sceptre. How y'doin? Will ^{(is it can be time for messages now plz?)} 18:43, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

How do you think

? ;) —  $PЯINGrαgђ  19:04, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

With the right side of my brain. I am left-handed, after all :P. Good luck with your relative's wedding :). Will ^{(is it can be time for messages now plz?)} 19:06, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

All the good people in the world are left-handed. ;) —  $PЯINGrαgђ  19:39, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

By the way, I have a GT address too. :) Will ^{(is it can be time for messages now plz?)} 21:11, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Something related to tintower I assume? —  $PЯINGrαgђ  04:06, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Yeah. And, in the words of Riana, "Dude, I suck at toning down activities". Will ^{(is it can be time for messages now plz?)} 06:18, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] So strange...

That's so weird, sweetie, I cannot see you now :( Btw, I just dropped you a quick note, did you get it? Phaedriel - 21:08, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

I did, and the reason you couldn't see me was probably because I wasn't on. ;) I am now, though I won't be for too long. —  $PЯINGrαgђ  22:44, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Enjoy your break!

Hey Cliff, a wedding sounds like great fun! Hope you enjoy yourself :) And thanks for the message on my talkpage earlier - it's been a rough few weeks, but I don't see any point sitting around feeling sorry for myself :) Take care, have fun, and we'll see you when you get back, k? Cheers, – Riana_ऋ 02:48, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The traditional obligatory neighborly gift of thanks...

[edit] For you

– Riana_ऋ 05:18, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. :) —  $PЯINGrαgђ  17:44, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Many Thanks:

Thanks for signing the petition for me to return from my Wikibreak/Retirement. It was unexpected & I appreciate your kind words. I'm planning to stay away from conflict for a bit, so don't expect to see me around any talk pages etc. In no way shape or form have you ever peeved me off Springy. You are one of the nicest editors around. It's hard not to hug the screen when you're on... :) Anyway, thanks again for being there. :) Spawn Man 23:54, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

You really leave me without words. :) All the best (and that goes for everything) ;) —  $PЯINGrαgђ  11:09, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Greetings

Good afternoon, Cliff, I'm doing fine, though I've been a little wikibonked lately, i.e. no inspiration or energy to write new articles. How about yourself? --Kyoko 19:48, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Busy, as I will be until the beginning of the month. :) I do somewhat miss the wiki and my friends here (especilly since before I left I did no small end of "show preview" type testing of different HTML and wiki markup in my sandbox), and all the classical music I love listening to. I'll also be writing an essay on Sir Edward Elgar, his 'cello concerto, and Jacqueline du Pré and Daniel Barenboim soon, so try and guess what tone it will be in. :) —  $PЯINGrαgђ  20:04, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm afraid I'm not much of an Elgar fan, but I look forward to reading the articles anyway. --Kyoko 20:20, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

That's fine. If you like I could put it on my blog which speaking of, I should put on there what I said I was going to…enough forgetting :P —  $PЯINGrαgђ  20:37, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

You mean that they're not for Wikipedia? --Kyoko 20:44, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Not really, because I've been asked to put my own point of view in them. I don't think that would be too well recieved here. :) —  $PЯINGrαgђ  20:46, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Ah, gotcha. If you would like, you can e-mail them to me instead. --Kyoko 23:04, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] To my one and only Cliff

	See, even Night her self is here, To favour your Design; And all her Peaceful Train is near, That Men to Sleep incline. Let Noise and Care, Doubt and Despair, Envy and Spight, (The Fiends delight) Be ever Banish'd hence, Let soft Repose, Her Eye-lids close; And murmuring Streams, Bring pleasing Dreams; Let nothing stay to give offence.
Henry Purcell - The Fairy-Queen

Not having you around the way you used be to is starting to take its toll on me, Cliff :( I know I'm selfish, but... I miss you! I hope everything's cool, sweetheart, and do drop by and visit... I'll keep visiting you even if you're away. Love you, Phaedriel - 02:09, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

I read you loud and clear. :) I'll try and contact you today but I may not be able to as I'm going to San Francisco tomorrow. Either way you should hear from me by the middle of the week. ;) —  $PЯINGrαgђ  08:22, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] our anonymous...whatever

I see in your talk page history that A.S. is still around and still...well, being himself. I am surprisingly hurt by his disparaging comments about me (to say nothing of his holier-than-thou attitude and...shall we say, unusual grasp of Hungarian history and culture) and dismayed to realize that he's probably not going anywhere and will be bothering me until I leave the project for good. Recently our colleage of the funny name, Gustav von Humpelschlumpel, re-instated the phrase "ethnic German Hungarian" in place of just "Hungarian" with the exasperated edit summary "a hungarian deleted this AGAIN." Clearly, thanks mostly to me, Hungarians are no longer to be trusted or tolerated editing the Liszt article. It's my fault, so I must now refrain from editing that article in the future. I'm just too much of a persona non grata. K. Lásztocska 19:17, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

How so? You are a Hungarian and therefore almost expected to edit articles related to Hungarians (I didn't want to put too much pressure on there). Liszt was Hungarian, you can't put it any other way. His father even worked at the same court that Franz Joseph Haydn did. It is true that there are German roots in his line, but was he born in Germany? NO. Despite the fact that his birthplace is now in Austria, he was born in Hungary; that at least makes him partly Hungarian by nationality if not ethnicity. (I myself am Irish. I was, am, and will always be. Had I been born in America and not in Ireland I would consider myself Irish and American, not just American. See my point?)

What I'm trying to say is please do not under any circumstance just give up. I support you fully in this and I encourage you as much as I possibly can to go on. I'll even join in the reverts more than I have been. ;) —  $PЯINGrαgђ  07:58, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

What I meant was, thanks to my childish whining and complete lack of logical thinking or professionalism in my battle with the Anonymous One, no one will take me seriously over there anymore, and will think that all my edits have some sort of hidden ultranationalist agenda. (For a while I seriously considered making a single-issue sockpuppet, but after getting accidentally embroiled in a huge scandal regarding a banned user, his sockpuppets, and impersonators of his sockpuppets, I decided against it!!) And don't you think that A.S. is still lurking out in Germany somewhere, stalking my edits, reading everything I write, just so he can continue to belittle me, talk down to me, treat me like a naughty child? (And I wish he'd stop acting like only he knows anything--I have heard nothing about this "new research" that claims FL did not consider himself Hungarian, and it's not because I'm ignorant.) If he comes back again, do you think we can get him blocked for persistent original research? K. Lásztocska 13:54, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Sadly not. I think we can't block IP addresses indefinately, and we don't have enough evidence. Just make sure you have a lot of rock-solid references whenever he next comes around. :) —  $PЯINGrαgђ  18:26, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Well, I'll do my best, but I can't help but feel like HE'S the one who should be inundating us with reams of rock-solid references, since he's the one making the lunatic-fringe claims that go against everything I and you have read. He relies on original research, leaps of faith, inferences, and seeing what he wants to see (basically everything he accuses Alan Walker of, only less well-written.) I freely admit that Walker's books are not completely free of bias, but the intelligent reader can quickly get accustomed to Walker's voice, notice the biased statements immediately and make little mental course corrections, and proceed to enjoy the rest of the fascinating, thoroughly-researched and informative books. I trust Walker at his worst more than I trust this anonymous guy. I mean, talk about biased. By now I must have posted a dozen quotes from Liszt himself that make it clear that for much of his life he was a proud Hungarian. And remember the pseudoscholar's reaction? I found the quotes in Walker's book, therefore they were worthless. For Christ's sake, they were Liszt's own words, Walker didn't fabricate the quotes. So far the only piece of what could remotely be considered hard evidence that AS has produced is that ambiguous "for much of my youth, I blithely considered myself French" quote, confusingly translated and probably taken out of context. No, I don't think I'm the one who needs to be producing the evidence in this case. K. Lásztocska 21:35, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Well just watch Talk: and Franz Liszt and their histories for a while until he sulks back into his corner for a while. ;) —  $PЯINGrαgђ  19:52, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

"Giddy ineffable twadle" Thanks for the laugh :D I was trying to take a wikibreak you know! M A Mason 20:09, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] More Wikipedians!

I'm all ears, Cliff! Nominate more please - and keep them coming! (and check your mail today!) Love, Phaedriel - 08:25, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Um well I checked it before I got on here and… :/ Anyway, K. Lastochka also is very deserving, and even though I will copy+paste this to my other friends' user talk pages, please give her support. She really needs it. —  $PЯINGrαgђ  17:07, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bouguereau

Absolutely right you are, young padawan ;) Phaedriel - 17:28, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] you're canvassing your friends to be nice to me?

LOL. ;-) I'm actually in better shape than I might seem--it's certainly true that AS was pissing me off, but other than that I'm doing fine. I'm fairly frazzled in real life this week (big concert upcoming), but honestly, I'm doing fine. I'm charmed by your mobilizing the WikiLove army though. ;-) K. Lásztocska 00:38, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Just wanted to drop by

Hello my dearagh! I haven't heard from you in a while, though I have been hovering about your talk page and listening to others chat about you ;)

I hope things are going well for you and the baby dearie is doing wonderfully. It's nice to see your spirits are up; a spring with no bounce is very depressing, but when I see my Cliff with a spring in his step it cheers me up quite a bit! It really is lovely to see you around and popping up on our friends' talk pages higgledy-piggledy; I figured that since I see you so often I really had to come and actually talk to you.

So. Here I am, with naught much to say... but I DO have a big hug and a hello and a "hope-you're-well"; and I will also say if you like or want or feel like chatting my e-mail is always around and ready to be filled!

A very tight hug and tons of love, — Editor at Large^(speak) 14:30, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

I told her something alomg those lines. :) —  $PЯINGrαgђ  20:02, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the star! Very sweet of you... it's funny you gave it to me when you did, because when you saved it I was in the middle of writing a response to your e-mail ;) Nearly done, it should arrive soon.

As for the painting, consider it an award "For my lovely friend Spring, who is inspiring in so many ways - from the lovely messages you leave for people to your kind and light-hearted self, you never cease to light up my day and bring happiness and good cheer to your friends. Here is a very tight *hug* to let you know how much I appreciate having you as a friend :)" Love much! — Editor at Large^(speak) 17:50, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

ME?!?!?!?!? Thank you so much, Sharon. But I told you to do K. Lastochka and Will before me. ;) —  $PЯINGrαgђ  06:46, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Happy day, Cliff! :) I haven't dropped by here in a looong time, I'm quite embarrassed - but what better time to do so than on your own day :) Hope you and the baby are safe and well, and everything's lovely in your part of the world. Take care, Riana ⁂ 10:01, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Dear Cliff, I hope you've had a wonderful day, even tho you took it with gracious and charming modesty. You deserved it, and as you see, it's not just me who thinks you do. I'm writing something for you, so please, meet me at your mail in a few hours, will you, sweetie? :) Love! Phaedriel - 04:57, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

You leave me without words again, Sharon, as you have so often before. :) But this time, I will not try to communicate with words. ;) —  $PЯINGrαgђ  08:21, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] A good question

Errr... well, the first time, it was to test that templates look OK when you block someone ({{anonblock}}), then it was by mistake :) and then it was to check it blocking with a parser works {{unb}}) and then it was to test what {{usernameBlocked-vandal}} looks like, because for some reason I decided not to go to the actual template page and see. I think I was working very late/early ;) And I had to do it twice, because the first time period wasn't long enough. I'm not the brightest crayon in the box, as you see :) Riana ⁂ 13:49, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] ESP debate

Hi, Springeragh. In response to your latest comment on WT:EA, I do apologize if, in your eyes, I did cause any trouble that would make this debate much worse than it should. To tell you the truth, I've been really stressed lately, with my final exams and such. But that's not really an excuse, is it? I'm going to send you an email soon, check your mailbox in a few minutes.--Ed ^{¿Cómo estás?} 18:54, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
