(Copied from User talk:Thomprod#Thanks!:)

Hi there...um...guess I don't know your name yet.

Steve Braun here...finally...you very kindly found my phone number and left me a message. I was out of town when you called, and then, in my extreme "newbie-ness" couldn't for the life of me figure out how to find my original post to you (my "history" gets wiped every day or so to protect my privacy).

But here I am...so thanks. You mentioned you set up a User page for me, which is great...except I have no idea how to get at the thing. Sorry...maybe one of my long-term projects will be to help create a single, well-indexed handbook for Wikipedia writers and editors. Might make the learning curve a little less steep!

So if you'd be so kind (again) as to email me quick directions to my user page, I'll figure it out from there. I'm not actually as helpless as I sound...I'm very facile with computers...but somehow the hyperlinked nature of Wikipedia makes it easy to lose oneself in layer upon layer of "clicks."

Wait...OK...just got a warning that I shouldn't include my email address. I'll check back here for a reply from you then.

Thanks! Hey...I see you play piano...I'm just learning and am totally in love with it...been at it a little over a year now and have learned a little simple Bach and Mozart. What I'm aiming for, though, is jazz. Sigh. Eventually...

Steve, nice to hear back from you. I can answer Wikipedia-related questions here (it's called my "User talk page", BTW), and to find it again from outside Wikipedia (WP), just click [1] and then save the URL in your browser as a Favorite/Bookmark. Once inside WP, you can find it by typing "User talk:Thomprod" into the "search" box in the upper left of any page, and then hitting <enter> or clicking the "Go" button.
Personal conversations should be done through e-mail. You may send me your address through e-mail if you wish (so it doesn't appear anywhere on Wikipedia) and I can reply back to you that way on personal issues. To send me e-mail, once you are on my talk page, just click the link on the left under the heading "toolbox" that says "E-mail this user". You don't have to know my address to send me e-mail because I have made it available as a link to all Wikipedia users, even though the actual address is not visible.
To your WP-related questions: To get to your "talk page" while on my talk page (or any page that you have signed), just click the "(talk)" link after your signature. You can also click here. Since you are not yet a registered user, the "user name" in your signature is currently just your IP address (24.63.135.147). You may want to consider becoming a registered WP editor. For more information, see the Welcome Notice I placed on your talk page here. I suggest you read this first chance you get as it will answer many beginning questions for you. If you need more help, feel free to post again. Happy editing! --Thomprod (talk) 20:46, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
