Tony. A beer for you. Hope you are well. Drmies (talk) 02:49, 20 November 2024 (UTC) |
- Drmies, thanks for leaving this. Glad to see there's people around who still think of me. Hope you and your family are doing well and have a great holiday season :) TonyBallioni (talk) 17:48, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
- Absolutely, old friend and colleague. I hope you're doing well. Wait. Did I see you edit Bolano? DYK that once upon a time I taught 2666? One of the greatest novels ever. Drmies (talk) 00:02, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

TonyBallioni, please accept this peace pipe as an offering of recognition for something like two or three years of successfully peaceful editing between us on this project without any incident. Here's to many more years of future peaceful piping.
