Confimation request

Hi! Can you please allow a couple of hours to think if you are really in need of a complete flag removal. In any case, please accept my apologies for this little delay and a warm "thank you" for your work on enwiki. Ciao, M/ (talk) 23:10, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No further time will be necessary - the account has too many permissions to be allowed to lie dormant with them intact Fritzpoll (talk) 23:11, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, as you wish. Thanks again and I hope to see you on wiki again... someday! --M/ (talk) 23:12, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

We'll miss you.

You'll be missed, Fritz. But I wish you well in your future endeavors. Jamie S93^❤ 23:18, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
support a speedy return back. Dusti^SPEAK!! 23:42, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
support you using your wiki-time to kick butt in the real world. Hope you didn't over-extend your volunteer work. Remember, the work you did on WP lives on in mirror sites, even if WP folds. Take care of yourself first. S B H arris 00:00, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Best of luck with your dissertation :) NW (Talk) 00:23, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry that things ended up with this, but I wish you luck IRL. Cheers! J.delanoy ^gabs _adds 01:26, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure if you'll read this, but I wanted to quickly say how much I appreciated working with you here, when we had that opportunity, and I was really impressed with your work both generally and at ArbCom - you've been great, and I'm very sorry to see you depart. Good luck with your study. :) - Bilby (talk) 01:29, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure if you are better off leaving or not, that's always your call, I hope it's "better," but Wikipedia will miss you. Specially me. --Abd (talk) 02:41, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It's a loss, to see you go. You'll be missed. I hope real life will bring you all the best, good luck with your dissertation, and I do hope to see you around here someday again, or maybe in real life. Best regards, --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 08:38, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You'll be missed; best wishes. Ncmvocalist (talk) 09:04, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You will be missed, Fritzpoll. Pmlineditor ∞ 09:22, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You will certainly be missed by myself, and by the community, the best of luck in whatever you chose to pursue, kindest regards, Spitfire^Tally-ho! 09:24, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I see you came to your senses. =) Happy trails. –xeno^talk 16:22, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
One of the good guys, for sure. Keep in touch, and come back if it's ever possible. Best, Scott aka UnitAnode 16:22, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Its a shame that the people who are trusted enough and valued enough to be elected to ArbCOM often end up following this path... it truly is a thankless task...---Balloonman ^{NO! I'm Spartacus!} 16:27, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
If you intended to leave so soon after being elected, what was the point in wasting time with an arb election? What happened? Anyway if you are busy with study and RL I understand. All the best for the future and thanks for all your help. You will be missed. ‡ Himalayan ‡^ΨMonastery 16:43, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think there is a direct cause and effect corralary there... Fritz probably didn't realize how harsh and unforgiving things can seem for ArbCOM members... last year we had how many ArbCOM members either quit, retire, or be coaxed into not quitting?---Balloonman ^{NO! I'm Spartacus!} 17:57, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm really sorry to see you go, we need more level headed administrators and editors who can keep cool under pressure. --Tothwolf (talk) 17:04, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much for all your work on refereeing the Macedonia discussion. That was one of the few times Wikipedia's ever properly dealt with a contentious nationalism-related issue, and you were part of the solution. I regret seeing you go and hope you'll be back one of these days. Farewell until then. Heimstern Läufer (talk) 02:29, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Just found out, this is really sad news (at least for us at wiki), you had such a voice of reason, and one of my favorite Arbs. Hope you have a great life away from Wikipedia. — Coffee // have a cup // ark // 22:13, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You are an absolute gem, Fritzpoll. A diamond in the rough, and other such cliches all intending to mean that you'll be missed. One of the best. All the best in your endeavors/endeavours. Keeper | 76 03:08, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
