[edit] Hello? I don't make grammar mistakes except when being tongue-in-cheek, demonstrating a point, or if I don't agree with the rule.

(Before you complain, that last comma is an "Oxford comma")

Who are you? What are you doing changing my userpage? And there weren't any grammatical errors- you didn't even change anything in your edit...

I'm sorry if I'm supposed to know you, but I really have no idea. How the hell do you know who I am? Were you just going through random userpages looking for solecisms and barbarisms to correct (which is an entirely laudable activity) and you stumbled upon my userpage, or do you actually know me and are playing some kind of joke? Please answer my questions, if you would be so kind as to SO do (yes, that's right, being a progressive grammarian I just split my infinitive entirely aware of that fact).

Yours,

TBR. Tanzeel 23:01, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

I see, so you split the infinitive to "demonstrate a point"?Gammondog 21:04, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, that was just a little joke. My point still stands though, there was no mistake on my userpage and you didn't change anything in your edit but, oddly, provided an edit summary for nothing, which leads me to believe it was some kind of joke. Anyway, my question also still stands...who are you? How do you know me? And what were you doing changing my userpage? It seems you must know me from somewhere, as you seem to be aware of my pedantry, and you have also once before commented on my userpage. If you in fact do not know me personally, I do wonder why you randomly edited my userpage like that. Tanzeel 07:53, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Hmmm...you seem to have lots of free time in the mornings...7.53 in the morning before school? And, i consider it pointless giving out names, which are none other than identification tags assigned at birth. Gammondog 22:41, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

By the way, you say that those comments on your page are about as reliable and accurate as this encyclopaedia...is that very or not very accurate, in your opinion? Gammondog 20:28, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

I do actually think an Ottoman wikipedia wouldn't be such a bad idea, why do you care? Who on earth are you and why are you stalking my usertalk? What is your fixation with me? Tanzeel 23:36, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, fixation is a bit of a strong word, it's just I keep up, you know...rest assured I am not trying to stalk or harrass you, but I know you are a strong character who does not collapse easily under pressure. You probably won't hear from me again.

But bloody hell, it's midnight where you are, isn't it a bit late? Gammondog 00:09, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Pressure? Don't worry I'm not at any risk of "collapsing". Perhaps you have the wrong impression- I'm not annoyed at all, just a little curious. So I have a "strong character" then? Now how would you know that unless you knew me personally? And why would you like to "keep up" with a stranger? This does seem to suggest you are acquainted with me in real life, so I'm just a bit curious as to who you are and how you know me. Although, if I really am a complete stranger to you, your "keeping up" does come off as a little odd...not that I'm bothered though, you're perfectly welcome to so indulge yourself. It's just a bit strange. Tanzeel 11:32, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Oh that's OK then ;) I'm not trying to keep up with you, if that's what you think...it's just that I go around seeing things.
