== ANI archive question ==
Line 4,147 ⟶ 4,148:
Why do you manually archive closed threads like that? There's a bot to do just that after x amount of time, <s>*cough* why not archive your user talk page threads instead *cough*</s>, what is the use in manually archiving them before the bot does? Some posts do deserve quick archiving, but you've been archiving a lot of them. – [[Special:Contributions/2804:F14:80D2:8401:D80F:263F:C174:E386|2804:F1...74:E386]] ([[Special:Contributions/2804:F14::/32|::/32]]) ([[User talk:2804:F14:80D2:8401:D80F:263F:C174:E386|talk]]) 21:12, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
:Archiving threads that (a) have come to their natural conclusion, and (b) have no residual educational value, prevents editors wasting their brainpower casting their eyes over threads to no good purpose. (ANI has TONS of watchers, so the multiplying factor here is tremendous.) Plus (c) it keeps me up to date on the forms of disruption currently in vogue, on top of which (d) I find all that clicking relaxing and diverting when I really should be doing something else.{{pb}}If you feel there's some thread I archived prematurely, please point to it so I can hone my discretionary skills along those lines. Otherwise, why do you care? [[User:EEng#s|<b style="color:red;">E</b>]][[User talk:EEng#s|<b style="color:blue;">Eng</b>]] 22:05, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
::Well no, if I had anything substantial against it I would have said it, it's just that I wanted to know why. As far as I know is just 24 hours minimum, or less if routine, or more if complex or controversial, or 3 days if the bot does it(said at the top of the board), everything else is fine if you're not being disagreed with. – [[Special:Contributions/2804:F14:80D2:8401:D80F:263F:C174:E386|2804:F1...74:E386]] ([[Special:Contributions/2804:F14::/32|::/32]]) ([[User talk:2804:F14:80D2:8401:D80F:263F:C174:E386|talk]]) 23:13, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
:::As it happens I wrote that 24/routine/complex language (as well as, BTW, that deathless phrase "urgent incidents and chronic, intractable behavioral problems" -- I'm having that inscribed on my gravestone) so when my finger's on the clicker you may rest assured that ANI archiving is in expert hands.

Hello, EEng,
I saw you link to this "essay" on ANI so I went to read it. You promise to write an essay with this page title over 6 years ago, isn't it time to give it a shot? Depending on the wit, I'd love to link to it myself.
Happy holidays, you old grouch! <span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;">[[User:Liz|'''''L'''''iz]]</span> <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">[[Special:Contributions/Liz|'''''Read!''''']] [[User talk:Liz|'''''Talk!''''']]</sup> 09:05, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

I saw you post on another talk page that you are dealing with some serious real life issues. I hope things are OK. --[[User:Tryptofish|Tryptofish]] ([[User talk:Tryptofish|talk]]) 00:04, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
