User:Jmaynard/Repairing List of Internet phenomena
Forget it.
[edit]Screw this. The deletion of essentially the entire article while I was seeking input on my proposed changes, by an admin who had voted strongly to delete the entire article, has left me totally unwilling to work on the article. I'm leaving this so someone else can pick up the work I'd done, should they care to and should they find it useful. I'm done. -- Jay Maynard 22:11, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
The following entries are proposed to be re-added to List of Internet phenomena to repair the damage done by an admin:
