[edit] Oh forget it
Having re-visited Wikinews briefly after a long hiatus, I had positive hopes. But I see that Really Stupid Policy (TM) (and officious behaviour towards users) is still in effect, and so I will not be back again. Please delete my 'user' pages. Like wikipedia, This Is Not A Wiki, and sadly, here the beauracrats have found even more excuses to restrict its use. I see this as namespace squatting, a form of DoS. -- Simeon 04:03, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
