How to leave a message
editHey. I'm glad you answered my welcome-wagon note, but, um, technically you did so in the wrong place. It should have been on my "Talk Page", accessible by clicking on "Discuss this page". No big deal, I don't really mind, but the thing is: if you leave a comment on a user's talk page, then the recipient is automatically notified that "you have new messages". I don't read my own User page every day, but I do check my messages.
Thanks just the same; it feels good to have your messages answered. DS 11:52, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
