Kafziel's permanent block notice:

Because of the edits you made today, you've won yourself a permanent vacation from Wikipedia! Contributing to articles can be very stressful and time-consuming, and it's just too much for some people to handle. So I've set you free! Take a nap in a hammock, walk on the beach, fly a kite, or build a tree fort. If hang gliding or motorcycle racing is more your speed, you can do that, too! You can do whatever you like, as long as you're not editing Wikipedia. Hooray for you! [signature]
