My very, very bad. I intended to make a small, small edit but accidentally deleted SOMETHING. I didn't realize my mistake until it was too late, and I had no idea what had been deleted. Please excuse my stupidity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.232.205.146 (talk) 19:18, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

Andy is maddening at times but not evil, ever. I cannot imagine him ever using sockpuppets. He is almost painfully sincere and I do urge everyone who has conflicts with him to spend time getting to know him better, as I did. I think that if you do, you will come to respect him, even if he drives you bonkers from time to time. Guy (Help!) 23:17, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
