== Userify it? ==

While I find ] to be a good chuckle, perhaps it would be best if you userified it? I just envision somebody adding it somewhere and it touching off a boatload of drama and whining. ''I'' don't care if it exists, especially since the purple box is actually larger than the template, but you know how these things can get... Anyways, no biggie, just a simple query.

== Wiki page ==

Pardon my ignorance, but I'm wondering how one can get one's "own" wiki page? I've been thinking of doing something like that for my relatives. It would not be an "anyone can edit", obviously. But I wonder where you go to find something like that? ] <sup>'']''</sup> 19:28, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

== Abuse truth ==

It occurred to me to post here rather in ] because that seems to be a discussion among blocking admins and I am only a user.

Yes: it's kind of tragic that AT seems to be clueless about what all of this is about. Being blocked, there is still a tiny chance that he might listen to WLU. But the real question is if he will ''really'' change his behavior if unblocked?

Hi. I'm unsure if I agree that the ] needed immediate speedy deletion. Might some notice of problems which need fixing or a listing for proposed deletion rather than unilateral speedy have been options? Comments? Cheers, -- ] (]) 22:13, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

== You surprise me... ==

I must say, for someone with whose attitude I've silently-yet-vehemently disagreed with so very often*, you're actually turning out to be a fun person! That Clarence Budlington Kelland thing, for instance--and the Uninformed Wingnut Drivel template (I soooo wanna make a real-life version of that and slap it on my cube-mate's computer when he starts listening to his conspiracy-theory Internet-radio shows...) I'll be interested to see how the Kelland article shapes up...and judging from that pic on the linked site, he is ANYTHING but "gaunt-faced". I was expecting Skeletor, or something like. Anyway...:) *<small>no offense meant--I'm well aware that a world run by people who think just like me would be hopelessly squishy and inefficient.</small>] 22:16, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

==RfC==
Just wanted to let you know that me and a few others were preparing an RfC on you ]. The reason for this is only to correct a situation that is concerning us. Before I post the RfC for the record, I wanted to give you a chance to look it over, if you'd like to, and let us know if there is anything listed there that you feel is unfair or inaccurate. I'll probably post it "live" in a couple of days. ] (]) 01:41, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Smelling pistakes
In addition to bone-deep burn scars on my left hand I now also have C7 radiculopathy, so my typing is particularly erratic right now. I have a spellcheck plugin but it can't handle larger text blocks. You're welcome to fix spelling errors without pinging me, but please don't change British to American spelling or indeed vice-versa.
JzG is taking a short wikibreak and will be back on Misplaced Pages soon.

God Jul och Gott Nytt År!

Gråbergs Gråa Sång is wishing you the season's greetings.
Whether you celebrate your hemisphere's solstice or Christmas,
Diwali, Hogmanay, Hanukkah, Lenaia, Festivus,
or the Saturnalia,
this is a special time of year for (almost) everyone.

JzG! Are you still out there?

Hi JzG! I was going through some old ArbCom cases and ran into one where you had added some statements. I realized that I haven't spoken to you in quite some time, and I see that you haven't made any edits since May... That sucks! I don't want to see someone like you go! If anything, I hope that you're doing well and that you're happy and that you'll someday return here. I just wanted to leave you a message and let you know that I was thinking about you... Keep in touch. :-) ~Oshwah~ 23:05, 9 January 2022 (UTC)

I hope it goes without saying, despite the fact that I'm saying it, that many of us feel the same way. Happy new year Girth Summit (blether) 23:13, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
We didn't cross paths very often lately, JzG, but we could really use you back. If you get the urge to return, please say "Yes!" Liz 01:14, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
October JzG sighting at WP:RSN. Does my heart good. --Floquenbeam (talk) 20:57, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
Lovely to hear from you! I have spent the past two-and-a-bit years working at incredibly high stress for a hospital. In that time I have retired around 80% of their legacy application and server estate, instituted architectural guidelines and piloted the process for demand review, reduced the measured risk burden by around 80%, instituted objective risk monitoring using Tenable, and I've just proposed (and had accepted) a plan to remediate or mitigate most of the rest. I have, in short, been busy in that there real life of which you read, and that really wasn't going to fit in with having to be nice to people who sincerely believe that Ashlii Babbit was the real victim of the "legitimate political discourse" on Jan 6 2020.
I have a week's leave. I have 28 days to take before year end, having managed I think three days off this year so far (including weekends). And because I have an offshore team and an onshore customer, my working day can be 8am to 3am.
I thought I'd drop in :-) Guy (help! - typo?) 18:44, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
Yikes, sounds like, umm..., a lot of responsibility. There will be plenty for you to do here when you are free! Johnuniq (talk) 22:50, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
Glad you dropped by! Beyond My Ken (talk) 02:19, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
Glad to hear you're OK - and busy, by the sounds of things! Hope you enjoy your break. Girth Summit (blether) 11:17, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
If Guy doesn't look at Talk:Alexander technique real soon now, where Eddy is being accused of plagiarism, I may be forced to contact him on bookfarce. That would mean giving Guy my real name. He always forgets me. - Roxy the dog 16:00, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
I try never to remember people's RW names unless they are "out" on Misplaced Pages. Even when they out themselves, this has led to huge problems, e.g. with a user whose identity was revealed by accident off-wiki, showing him to be the source of fact-washing his own side in Misplaced Pages disputes via a journalist. That ended badly for everyone. Guy (help! - typo?) 16:16, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
Very happy see the little JzG! bishzilla ROARR!! pocket 19:56, 27 October 2022 (UTC).
Hah! Good to see you're still around!  RasputinAXP  20:48, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
This is a few months late, but welcome back! Wishing you well. starship.paint (exalt) 09:40, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
Welcome indeed! Just came across your signature here. It's always great to run in to another 'old-timer'. Hope you're well, Arbitrarily0  11:21, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
