For the record I have been here for nearly a year, but my username was changed. I have had two usernames in the past, 207.99.6.125, and Not Wikipedia Administrator. I held out getting a named account for a long time because I had a static IP anyway and didn't think the benefits of a watchlist were worth it (now I disagree) and didn't want to deal with the hassle of logging in and out and so on. My second username was based on an amusing episode I noted involving some fool who got a username called "Wikipedia Administrator." Surprisingly, Guanaco immediately and without warning actually blocked me from the Wikipedia for (about?) a day (not just the username but the IP too). Although I was surprised at that, and was tempted to, you know, fight it and all that, blah, blah, as soon as the block seemed to expire I figured, whatever, who cares, and just switched to DG. It's not a very interesting name but it's simple, short, and meaningful (my initials). Sorry that you were under the misperception that I had only been here for a couple of months.

As for that "poor revert decision" I stand by it. What was wrong with it? I note that several edits later by other users, they're still there. D. G. 10:08, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)
