I've been a proud Wikipedian since 2005 and a Wikipedia reader since long before that. I've just (as of February 2007) come back from a long and unannounced wikibreak; I profusely apologize if I failed to reply to anyone's messages or emails during that time, or otherwise inadvertantly caused you to feel snubbed or ignored in any way. (I promise to put up the appropriate banner next time.)
