Again, welcome! — billinghurst sDrewth 04:46, 17 September 2012 (UTC) Thank you for your friendly welcome, however I've been here for at least six years! DavidFarmbrough (talk) 05:39, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
- We don't have a "why have you been so quiet" template so can you bear with being re-welcomed. We had your page sitting nude with no welcome for that long? Perish the thought, hope that the new covering suits. :-) — billinghurst sDrewth 06:26, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
- That's OK, I thought it was minimalist. Having said that, when I copied most of my Wikipedia user page (I'm reasonably active on there, with about 5,000 edits) to Wiktionary I was shouted at for having created a "vanity page" disproportionate to my contribution to the wiki.... Anyway both are better than the "Go and play in the sandbox" which greets so many new wiki users! DavidFarmbrough (talk) 06:46, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
- We have no evidence that you had a page. Re vanity page, the more glam, the more work that we expect from you, otherwise we will call you Hyacinth Bucket — billinghurst sDrewth 15:30, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
