The unfortunate misunderstanding[edit]
I regret the recent unfortunate misunderstanding with your username. We get a certain number of people who use their website URL as their editor name, hoping to improve their presence on certain search engines and thus their page ranking. If you had clicked through on the website of this name, you would have discovered that its primary purpose is as a portal to various vendors with which the other Timosch has arrangements; thus, it seemed a pretty obvious case of spamming. I'm glad the whole mess has been cleared up; it's particularly distressing for me, as a patriotic Milwaukeean, to have something like this happen to a visitor from .de-land! --Orange Mike | Talk 17:34, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
