User talk:Trolling motor

Here are some tips to help you get started:

If you haven't already, please add your name to the new user log to let others know a little about yourself.
Read the article describing how to edit a page and feel free to experiment in the Sandbox.
When editing pages, use the preview button before submitting and try to fill in the summary box for every edit.
Eventually, read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
If you need help, post a question in the Newcomers' Village Pump or ask me on my talk page.
Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Good luck!

P.S. That's a very creative and interesting username you chose. It serves to convey a love of fishing to those who are unaware of its other meaning, and, to those "in the know," gives a great indication of your most likely intentions. Welcome! ;-)

Thanks. I see you spend a considerable amount of your time on Wikipedia acknowledging the introduction of new user names. That is a nice standard message, but it would ring more sincere if it reflected your interest in my current understanding of Wikimarkup language, which I have demonstrated by signing all of of my posts. Of course, you probably have no way of knowing if I used tildes or if I signed the information long-hand. The time stamp is a solid clue I used tildes, though.

Your greeting would really ring true if you recognized my familiarity with the format and my specific interest in the project by offering a few original lines acknowledging my interests as reflected in the substance of the posts I have offered. Trolling motor 19:22, 10 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for your comments. Welcome messages would be greatly improved if they could somehow be personalized to every aspect of the user's history, but I'm afraid that's just not practical. However, since it seems to bother you quite a bit, I'd be happy to customize my message to you. I've replaced my comment on tildes above with a more appropriate postscript. Once again, welcome! -- Jrdioko 21:33, Apr 10, 2004 (UTC)

Nice response to a friendly greeting there. Since you're so familiar with wikipedia, I suggest you use your normal username during policy discussions. State your point, don't prove it. I don't imagine your votes will be counted under this username (since you're likely a sockpuppet and may well already have voted under another username). fabiform | talk 20:22, 10 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Please refrain from insulting other users. If you continue, you run the risk of having your account banned for a length of time. Kingturtle 20:28, 10 Apr 2004 (UTC)
