and as for AfD debates. the problem is the many users who try to join to make that point and never come back, who are usually recruited for the purpose (called meatpuppets) or made-up ones by one of the people most involved (called sockpuppets). As you are not one of them, please don't be discouraged. The best way to being taken seriously around here seems to be to patiently make edits and make useful comments during discussions, even if the topics don;t critically interest you. Best wishes, and hope to see you again soon on AfD. DGG 00:18, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
