Hey Eliyohub! I see you haven't received a welcome yet, so this'll be a personal one from me. ;) Are you finding yourself getting involved in different places? If you need some suggestions, ask me, ask User:Suggestbot or check out the Community Portal, or a combination of the three. I'm always happy to help, and you'll find that I'm not so hard to find. I don't remember you, did you do a vanishing act too? Either way, it's great to see you. That's a really high compliment, as all of the mediations I have attempted have failed - miserably. My last one is in ArbCom now, which isn't really good. Thanks, and please drop me a message if you need anything at all, I'm usually around. Best, Keilanatalk(recall) 15:32, 3 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Help

You said on your userpage you were "clumsy". Well, if you have any questions, just feel free to ask me, okay? I'd be most happy to oblige. In any case, I sincerely hope you'll enjoy your stay on wikipedia and I wish you happy editing. Good luck, and take care comrade! -The Bold Guy- (talk) 18:11, 15 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Topic ban?

edit

I don't know what topic ban you're talking about. But if you're concerned about my well-being, go to my talk page rather than doing it on the ref desk. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots04:38, 22 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for removing it. And in future, you can post directly to my talk page, as it's more likely to get my attention. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots07:40, 22 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for your supportive comments. I intend to leave things as they are. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots09:36, 22 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

Judge Recusals

Hi, Eliyohub. At your request, I posted a fairly detailed response to your question about judicial recusals. Let me know if it answered your questions. John M Baker (talk) 17:17, 29 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

(edit conflict) Hello E. If you haven't seen it already this troll has been blocked. I (among others) was trolled in the same fashion last year so welcome to the club. Thanks for your vigilance in dealing with this person at the ref desk. I hope that you have a pleasant week. Best regards. MarnetteD|Talk 17:12, 14 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Not the Nazi Refdesk Troll

edit

The person known as 'ADolph was right' is not me but somebody else. The last time I showed up at the Refdesks was more than 3 months ago. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.12.45.187 (talk) 23:23, 1 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Further, the idea that a Captcha would help is silly. The entire point of the trolling isn't to troll. It is proof that a tool has been developed that can bypass Wikipedia Captchas, read Wikipedia edit logs, identify Wikipedia users, and, in an automated fashion, send edits to Wikipedia. So, the question shouldn't be "How do we stop it?" The question should be "What does the person who developed the tool want?" Then, look at the logs. If I am correct, the person who developed the tool explicitly stated he was developing such a tool and explicitly stated why he was doing it. It makes sense why he's using the Reference Desk as his proof of concept. 71.12.10.227 (talk) 19:35, 2 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

rents

edit

Hey, thanks for posting that refdesk question. Wife and I have long tried to figure out why so many commercial landlords choose vacancy over reduced rent tenants. We hadn't thought about the hypothetical versus real income issue. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆 𝄐𝄇 23:31, 4 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

  Damon Runyon's short story "Dancing Dan's Christmas" is a fun read if you have the time. Right from the start it extols the virtues of the hot Tom and Jerry

This hot Tom and Jerry is an old-time drink that is once used by one and all in this country to celebrate Christmas with, and in fact it is once so popular that many people think Christmas is invented only to furnish an excuse for hot Tom and Jerry, although of course this is by no means true.

No matter what concoction is your favorite to imbibe during this festive season I would like to toast you with it and to thank you for all your work here at the 'pedia this past year. Best wishes for your 2020 as well E. MarnetteD|Talk 21:10, 18 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Child support insurance

edit

Hi,

I was wondering if you ever asked the company that you worked for what the cost of child support insurance for 18+ years is actually going to be if they were to ever decide to actually create and provide such insurance. Also, for what it's worth, there are serious questions as to whether such an insurance contract would actually be compatible with public policy, but that's a bit of a separate question:

Anyway, please let me know what you think.

@Eliyohub: Did you see my message here? Also, from a statistical/actuarial perspective, if I will get a bilateral epididymectomy PLUS a bilateral removal of the ENTIRE scrotal part of my vas deferens, then the statistical risk of this failing should be less than 1 in 10,000, correct? If so, it would be perfectly logical for me to give a one-time payment of $100 to an insurance company in exchange for them giving me $1 million if my reproductive tubing will ever grow back, right?
