Hello Arcayne. You seem to have a few ownership issues with the above page. I made one revert to remove the information about scrubbing which was well supported by the talk page in the lead, yet you reverted (I'm going to revert that again because what you've done is completely against consensus). I also note you've done this for basically anything you don't agree with. As it happens, you've hit three reverts in the last 24 hours so please don't revert again or you'll be blocked. '''[[User:Ryan Postlethwaite|<font color="green">Ryan</font> <font color="purple">Postlethwaite</font>]]<sup>See [[Special:Contributions/Ryan Postlethwaite|the mess I've created]] or [[User talk:Ryan Postlethwaite|let's have banter]]</sup>''' 08:40, 6 October 2008 (UTC) |

Out for the evening

What was archivedTell the truth...Yeah, tell the truth...you really are cutting out to watch Survivor...8^D, the VP debate isn't until they vote someone off. Goes off at 9 eastern right?. Time to go make dinner and then watch these folks starve. At least on Survivor, you get to hear the conniving thoughts from the individuals in confession!

HeyoHeyo, I've made another small edit which I hope is uncontested based on the previous comments. See my reply on the talk page and let's address the points we're concerned about. Cheers, JaakobouChalk Talk 17:10, 3 October 2008 (UTC) DYK for I'm a PC
Actually, it was the other commentators over at the talk page who were imputing bad faith, not me ... I hadn't been aware of the long disagreements over this, and had I not jumped to the bottom of the page I might have ignored it. Although, I did feel too many "how ironic!" quotes were included, when MS's response makes the same point that the Economist made when it reported on MS's signing of Crispin ... that of course the ad agency was going to put the ads together on Macs; that's all most of them have. I have no objections to the article including stuff about the data being erased; that's notable and not the first time MS created bad publicity for itself by trying to conceal things like that.
