Hello Jimbo and all other readers, I saw your message yesterday and noticed that (almost) nobody had replied to it. Therefor I will give my view (my 2 eurocents, as they say). I am with this amazing project since june 2003 and don't do much more than contribute information when I have some spare time. If I had more time on my hands I would certainly spend most of it on Wikipedia, but life consists of choices. I would even go for moderatorship ... if only I had the time. However, I try to read (what I see as) the most important pages on the nl.wikipedia and keep in touch with what is going on. months and some of this made me sad. It even made me angry to the point that I almost stepped in and had my say about things. But I did not because I had promised myself not to get involved so I stayed silent. I don't want to say too much about it all, only this: People lets get back to what is really fun about this project, and that is all joining in to make it a really good free encyclopaedia. Stop putting people down and let's respect each others views and strong points and let's not hit down on each other. Stop these useless, senseless en endless discussions. And lastly, I hope the people who have shied away return to start doing the good work they did until recently. Met vriendelijke groet, User:Harm
