I do not think there is any other wikipedia where it so easy to ask for
help like on the NL Wikipedia if you have problem like this.

- you can ask help on IRC
- you can contact wikipedia NL by email private (since end of 2002!).
Emails are mostly answerd in a couple of hours
- you can contact the blocking admin directly by private email
- you can use WikiNL-l

That are all means of contact you know exist.

Every time you get angry about anything you come and complain here on
this off topic list regarding you local NL-problems. That is very annoying.
