Okay.


  • I'm DragonflySixtyseven. I'm not a dragonfly. I was not born in 1967.
  • I once wrote an essay on why we might think you're a sockpuppet. I haven't deleted it yet.
  • I did not write this poem, but the author released it under a Misplaced Pages-compatible license.
  • If I did something you disagree with, there was probably a reason. Being rude or hostile never helps.
  • Remember, Misplaced Pages is not just a collaborative encyclopedia, but a collaborative encyclopedia. Being able to work with others is a requisite. To this end, I have written some allegories which I hope you will find entertaining.
  • "my friend, you should not say with such high zest / to children who'd write history so tricky / the new lie: Dulce et Decorum est / pro patria wiki." — me, after Wilfred Owen.
  • Writing a Misplaced Pages article about the company you co-founded is like stabbing yourself with a fork. You're allowed to do it, but it'll be messier than you expect, and more painful. I don't recommend it.
  • Leave me a message if you want. Or don't. You can also e-mail me, but I will respond on your user talk page (or I'll get someone else to do it for me): I don't e-mail people from Misplaced Pages, whether or not you give me your e-mail address.
  • Do not leave messages for me here. If you leave a message on my talk page, I'm automatically notified that there's a new message for me — but this page is not my talk page, and I don't check it as regularly as you might expect.
  • I don't do userboxes.
