I have been welcomed

Archive 1: Welcome
I want to archive the welcome page - on purpose. Please do not restore it. I am attempting to use the "Permanent Link" method. JustJC 13:09, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Welcome method was kind of creepy

I found much of the info on the welcome very handy. It seemed to be a bot because it magically appeared moments after I registered. When I clicked the username on it, I found a note about that user coming from a public computer at a junior high school and block the user and .... whatthe? Having checked out the info already, and not wanting the splashy message greeting me everytime I used MY talk, I removed the message. And... next morning someone has helped me by restoring the message.
I don't "hate being welcomed" like the restorer suggests, but I do routinely delete those kinds of messages after I read them. If you-all (whomever you are) want new users to save important stuff from the welcome message, then that message needs to look legit - and less obtrusive. One great thing about having the message restored is that I chose to get some wiki practice with archiving.
