:I hope you don't mind, I went and copied this over. I had your talk page watchlisted from the time I did a very silly thing and reported you at AE for reverting an obvious sock. I never had a chance to apologize, but now is as good a time as any. Terribly sorry about that, and hope this makes up for it a tiny bit.

::Thanks for doing that. BTW, I was previously blocked for reverting that same sock in Sept. 2007, so you were not the first. There's usually a huge disconnect between people in the trenches working on articles and others who are just passing by and think they see a run of the mill edit war.

Re: Bot use by blocked users
User:JamesBWatson, there is a discussion about me over at Wikipedia:AN#Bot_use_by_blocked_users. Since I am unable to directly respond, could you copy over my response below? Response to AN thread follows:
I was logged in and browsing the March Against Monsanto page yesterday when I noticed a new link in the left pane under my "Toolbox" menu that I never saw before called "Expand citations". Curious about what this link actually does, I clicked through it and noticed that it allowed me to use the citation bot while blocked. This was an unintentional mistake and I have no intention of doing it again. Viriditas (talk) 03:29, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
