[edit] Old
Hey, you have the distinction of being the oldest active member of HRWiki, as you're just 3 years older than me. I pass you the torch with pride and a touch of snickering. Welcome aboard, and hope you enjoy yourself and contribute! - Qermaq - (T/C)

[edit] User page
Hi Mike. I wanted to bring this to your attention. I acknowledge that on most of the Internet, nothing on your page would be a problem, and I realize that when you first linked to the Wikipedia article, the image that is there as of this post was not there; however, since we have quite a few users in the 10–13 age range I have removed the link. I personally am not offended by the second complaint (and I can only guess what the third one is talking about); nevertheless, I would not discourage you from rewording those userboxes if you saw fit to so do. Thanks for your understanding. — It's dot com 00:14, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- Yikes. Thanks for the heads-up. I've done some sanitizing and I'm apologizing to the offended party. --BigScaryMike 00:57, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- Well, it was, that part about lusting. Ugh. Well, I forgive you, and happy editing! ;-) --TheYellowDart—(t/c) 02:46, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- Hey Mike. Thanks for being cool with all this. Talk atcha later. — It's dot com 03:16, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- Hey Mike, glad to have you on board! I'm sorry for being a prude and a knit picker, but I still would like to make a couple of polite requests: First, I made a search for the word lust in the wiki, and it's not a word found in the knowledge base. To me, the connotation it brings is not normally a topic that has a place in the wiki (lusting was found only here and the forum does use the word, but their culture and community is a little different). The other thing is that your blog might discuss sensitive topics and perhaps an {{inlinecontentwarning}} would be a nice thing to precede it with. Granted, I'm sure other user pages could use similar warnings, but yours currently has some level of prominence. --Stux 04:33, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- Prominence is good, but not for the wrong reasons. Thanks for the advice. I have implemented your suggestions and replaced the lust reference with "fantasizing," which is hopefully innocent enough. --BigScaryMike 04:52, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- Cool, thanks! And yeah, I think it is. Again, thanks! --Stux 05:03, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- Why, yes, I think it is as well. It's just that there are a lot of young users on here. A lot. And I know you are a nice guy. Some young users may think you are a predator if you put things up like that. Well, farewells, and peace! TheYellowDart—(t/c) 15:47, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Homsar being on Onstar
Well, very interesting. However, I'd like to bring it to your attention (no harsh feelings) that the Where's The Cheat? toon was released in February 2002, not one week and one year after that. Although I understand if you had a limited amount of footage to mess with. --Addict 2006 23:05, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
- Ah, yes. I am a latecomer. If I remember correctly, I made the commercial after discovering how to download the Homsar quotes from the ATM. I'd forgotten about the whole thing until I made my user page and added it as an afterthought. It's not so much an HR tribute as a comment on the MO-rons usually featured on those OnStar spots. --BigScaryMike 05:27, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Your signature
Just wanted to say, I like your new sig :)
