Thank you, Infrangible, for commenting on my RfA, which closed successfully with a tally of 76/0/1! I hope I will meet your expectations, and be sure I will continue trying to be a good editor as well as a good administrator :) If I may be of any assistance to you in the future (or if you see me commit some grievous error :), please drop me a line on my Talk page.
Again, thank you, and happy editing! Fvasconcellos (t·c) 18:36, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You rocked it. Congratulations! ~ Infrangible 02:22, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You said, "I have to know. Are the otters chirping in appreciation that you have made clam meat available to them, or are they too victims of your hammer-weilding spree?" I was laughing when I read that. They're chirping in appreciation, of course -- I treat my otters nicely, even if they get fish guts on the keyboard.

By the way, my mom always told me, "Do unto otters as you would have otters do unto you". ...Sorry, I had to say it. Ten Pound Hammer • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 14:41, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I am greatly relieved about the otters, and at the same time at a loss to explain my apathy towards the clams. ~ Infrangible 02:26, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The only reason I put my research paper on Wikipedia was to get exactly the type of feedback/comment you made about how yuppies who would buy an ipod + computer need health education. My professors didn't come up with that concern, so now I have a new area of research to look into. Thanks
Thank you for your comments. ~ Infrangible 02:26, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks very much for your support in my recent RfA, which passed successfully at 40/2/1, making me Wikipedia's 1,250thadministrator. Your comments were much appreciated, and I will endeavour to fulfil your expectations as an admin.
I expect you to do awesome! ~ Infrangible 03:54, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for supporting my RFA. I hope I will live up to your expectation. Let me know if you need any help, or I make any mistake. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 00:12, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much for supporting my RfA, which closed successfully yesterday... W00t! I hope to be a great admin (and editor) and I'm sure you can tell that my use of a large, boldfaced, capital "T" and a big checkmark image in this generic "thank you" template that I swiped from some other user's Talk Page that I totally mean business! If you need anything in the future or if you see that I've done something incorrectly, please come to my Talk Page and let me know. So now I've got a bunch of reading to do.... see you around! - eo 13:40, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
while I appreciate the irony of your comment (see my tacky little comment from Friday at the end of Talk:Al_Gore_III#Redirect here), I think considering the subject at hand, it would be best if you deleted it. Suffice to say it amused someone (me), but if it stays, it's likely to cause a storm. Could you please erase it to avoid detracting from the obvious need to delete? Thanks. --Thespian 10:06, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I am incensed by the offensive undertones of your comment and demand an apology immediately. ~ Infrangible 10:14, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
here is my apology: Pthbt. (also, 'obvious need to delete' meant the article, not your comment. this was the last thing I did before going to bed, and I got my subjects muddled. And since it seems the guy who started the article doesn't actually understand what your comment means, he's so focused on the racism as it exists only within pop music, and oblivious to what you said.....geh. in a way.) --Thespian 18:19, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks in part to your support, I am Wikipedia's newest bureaucrat. I will do my best to live up to your confidence and kind words. Andre (talk) 09:27, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Cool! let's start changing people's user names just to mess with them. ~ Infrangible 02:17, 13 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I've noticed you leaving comments on a lot of AfD's lately. Let me say thank you - they are absolutely hilarious. I know some folks will whine that they aren't constructive comments and don't contribute to the deletion discussion at hand, but they certainly lighten up the tone of a debate that sometimes can get all heated up and out of hand. At least it reminds us (or me anyway) to not take the project TOO seriously. Thanks! ɑʀкʏɑɴ 14:57, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Not saying I'm one of these, but some really brilliant people like Richard Feynman were chided for goofing around, but it was the tangetial thinking that expanded their perspective and helped them see what conventional thinking hid. It's counterintuitive. Kind of like eating bran. It has no nutrition, but it's the best thing in the world for you. ~ Infrangible 02:14, 13 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
So that's why I have Diverticulosis! Also loved your comment about that buddhist blog. Bearian 00:02, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the seal of approval (my first). I'm blushing! Bearian 00:23, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your seal of approval. I feel very... approved. :) Once again, thanks a lot, I always appreciate it when I get awards or medals or seals of approval. Cheers, -- Anonymous DissidentTalk 00:37, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your support in my successful RfA. I appreciate the trust you and the WP community have in me. Carlossuarez46 22:32, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
& thanks as well, & if you want to see what the problem was with allopathic medicine, look at the version Radiant quite reasonably af'd.DGG (talk) 02:07, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Radiant is certainly not to be faulted. We have all have benefitted from your detective work. ~ Infrangible 19:42, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for participating in My RfA which closed successfully. I am honored and truly more than a little humbled by the support of so many members of the community. It's more than a bit of a lift to see comments on my behalf by so many people that I respect. I'll do my best to not disappoint you or the community. - Philippe | Talk 02:44, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The only way you can disappoint me is to be concerned about disappointing me. ~ Infrangible 19:52, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Still sketchy evidence of notability. I think bilingual people may accept Spanish language sources, but I can not make an intelligent deliberation one way or another since I don't know how notable those sources are. ~ Infrangible 19:59, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You want to provide a more meaningful comment than Stay away from the Estonians, you pervert.? Martintg 21:41, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Ontologically speaking, meaning is just the causality of expression on an observer based on their point of view. Given two different viewpoints, two people can interpret an assertion with vastly different outcomes. So the whole notion of you deciding which comments are meaningful and which are not is ridiculous since your meaning is different from my meaning, which is different from user Y's meaning. Owing that understanding is driven by intellect and intellect is a product of conscious effort, you are ultimately responsible for your interpretation of any comment, and if you have a problem with one in particular then you have only yourself to blame. Don't be so hard on yourself man. ~ Infrangible 03:01, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I have no intention of suing him. I was just pointing out, as a legal expert, that his action gave rise to a cause of action. I would not have standing in that cause of action, but someone sure would, and would be able to cash-in big. 74.212.17.148 02:29, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, maybe we could go all class-action like. ~ Infrangible 02:40, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your timely notification about my time-deficient availability notifier. I hadn't thought about that before. Oh, and by the way - the comment on the Bush colonoscopy thing was absoluetly golden. That deserves a thanks, too! ɑʀкʏɑɴ 15:47, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
User:TenPoundHammer and his romp of Wikipedia-editing otters thank you for participating in Hammer's failed request for adminship, and for the helpful tips given to Hammer for his and his otters' next run at gaining the key. Also, Hammer has talked to the otters, and from now on they promise not to leave fish guts and clamshells on the Articles for Deletion pages anymore.

Do not give up. Third time's a charm. ~ Infrangible 18:00, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I noticed you placed a welcome message at User talk:128.211.175.25, despite the fact that his only contributions were vandalism. A {{test}} warning would have been more appropriate. --Zvika 07:06, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hey wow, you have been very busy welcoming ips. Please check their contributions before welcoming them — Lost(talk) 17:23, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your comments. A kind word has a more profound effect than a harsh criticism. How about assuming good faith about human nature? ~ Infrangible 01:28, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, no harm meant. I am sure you were doing it in good faith. Hope to see you around doing productive work — Lost(talk) 02:55, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Just some more observations, many ips that you welcomed today have also indulged in vandalism [1], [2]. I am not trying to stalk you here but your resources could really be put to better use — Lost(talk) 03:16, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Infrnagible, I have to say that I think a welcome message to a vandalizing IP is counterproductive. It is immediately obvious to the vandal that the message is a template and, worse, that you didn't even look at what he wrote before posting your message. I think it creates the impression that nobody is watching what the vandal is doing -- especially since in some of the cases you welcomed, the vandalism was not corrected for some time after the welcome message was posted. The {{test}} template is friendly and assumes good faith (insomuch as possible for a nonconstructive edit); I think it is much more appropriate. If you don't have time to verify that edits are constructive, I think it would be best if you didn't leave any message at all. --Zvika 06:53, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Zvika, you are making a lot of assumptions about people's actions and intentions. Let me just point out that in cultures where wrongdoers are slapped down hard [3], the crime rate is higher than anywhere else.[4] For example, the state of Texas, carries out more executions per capita any other place in the world.[5] They also have one of the highest rates of incarceration[6]. Not to mention the highest rate of individual gun ownership.[www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1766331/posts?page=81]. If their methods are so effective, they should have a completely crime-free utopia by now. Likewise, if your tactics are so effective, shouldn't there be some measurable reduction in vandalism[7]? Not not threatening an IP vandal feels wrong the same way not executing a murderer feels wrong, but niether works in the long run. ~ Infrangible 02:58, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
