==Hello==

I'm really not as bad as I may seem. When I came here I only wanted to make a good place for my children to come to at some point in the future, so they could learn from the "puter" as my 5 y. o. son used to say it (when he was three). (I now have three sons, one, three and five). I have been here for nearly two years. If you call me jaded, I think you are right. If you say I have nothing constructive to contribute you may also be right. I'm unhappy here, I admit it. But it is unfair to say that I have no constructive edits, or no constructive history. I am just burnt out right now. Don't judge me too harshly, we all make mistakes, and we all get our fingers burned. I'm taking a break from wikipedia, possibly a permanent one. But I'd like to point out that, thought I'm nearly fourty (well going to be 39 this year) I have learned a lot about myself and about "truth" and "reality" over the last two years. It's been a wonderful time for me. It's just the last couple of months that I've been unhappy here. I've had a few beers, so I hope I'm not too incoherent, but this is a great place to learn a few things. I just hope you don't get as jaded as I am. Maybe I'll come back sometime in the future, possibly when my children are grown up (that will bw at eleast 18 years for my youngest!!!) I'm sorry if I offended you. Love.

Thanks

I'm so glad I responded to you. It's so nice when a mature editor welcomes a new editor, and that new editor is so ready to learn from the mistakes of the experienced editor. So glad you have the maturity to

assume good faith. I don't really care what you think of me, when you are as experienced as I am you will realise that we all sometimes make mistakes. You don't have the right to judge me. My edit history is certainly not only the product of the last five or six months, that is only a small part of my edit history. Indeed I don't understand why you even respond to my talk page. I have already ststed that I am notgoing to edit wikipedia again. I left a message on your talk page as an afterthought. I was amazed that you thought it was worth responding to. Please go out and edit. It's far more rewarding than having a talk page discussion. Happy editing. Love. Alun 01:54, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply
