Hi Wikipedians,

My name is Helmut and I currently live in Vienna, Austria. Despite my advanced age of mumblety years - I popped into the time space continuum in the last century, indeed, in the last millenium - I hope to be able to add some morsels of senescent wisdom to this repository of collected human knowledge.

As I am bilingual in German / English I may start my contributions with a few translations between de. / en.wikipedia. I also may contribute a bit to the refence desk to share my exponentially increasing ignorance with my fellow ignoramuses.

Please bear with me in my early development as a quadrupedal wikipedian. Things will improve, as I mistakenly thought many moons ago...

Belated thanks

A few weeks ago you answered my question about motorola batteries at the reference desk. I just wanted to tell you (belatedly) that I appreciate that and have ordered the batteries you found recommended on Yahoo. 68.237.248.155 ( talk) 23:34, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
