Re: [Wikimedia-l] Better thankspam

This talks mostly of 'moving there' which suddenly in a very short time quite a number of people seem on board with. Glad that you're so thrilled about it. To be honest, while I am not always happy with ways we discuss, that has more often to do with the people than with the technology. At the

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Wikipedia's 15th BD
