adopt a user dear horsegirl i saw that you haven't quite retired yet and seem to be giving wikipedia you another chance i'm glad about that i wanted to ask if you're interested in becoming an adopted user adopt a user is a program designed to help new or inexperienced editors you can for example ask your adopter any questions you have an important part of the adopt a user program is talking to each other and wanting to ask questions and learning about the ways of wikipedia in that spirit i would ask you to consider not removing this message instead just put your reply your thoughts or whatever is on your mind beneath it a very important part of contributing to wikipedia is communication and that encompasses replying to messages and leaving them on your talk page for a while cheers amalthea
