Resigning - and leaving??

From your resigning from the Esperanza advisory council, desysopage, and clearing your user and talk pages, it seems like you are leaving Wikipedia?!?! I hope that I am wrong... for that would be very sad! But if it is so, know that you will be missed, and it has been an honor to work with you. I hope real life is not too stressful. -- Nataly a 19:03, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. There's a completely different way you could've gone about it (I know sometimes we don't see eye-to-eye) such as taking a Wikibreak, listing yourself in stressed users, announcing you're leaving, etc. Deleting your userpage is not the answer. If you are feeling upset about something, go away from the computer and take a break, then come back to it refreshed. Please reconsider your actions. You are making them in haste and not thinking things through. —

As much as I hate to see you leave, I know that there are often pressing real life issues that need to be taken care of; on that note, I'm not going to beg with you to stay. You know what is best for yourself, more than anyone else here combined. However, in some future, if you ever get relieved of all that real life stress and you feel relaxed enough to start up again, please consider coming back to Wikipedia. The community would welcome you with open arms. Best of luck in all your endeavors, and always feel free to contact me. E WS23 | (Leave me a message!) 19:14, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Though we have never come across each other before, I want to wish you all the best in whatever you do in the future. I really hope that when things settle down in your life you decide to come back to wikipedia. Thanks for all the efforts that you have put in till date to make this project a success. - Aksi_great (talk) 19:17, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Take care, KOS. NSL E _(T+C) at 00:41 UTC (2006-04-07)

I'll miss the IRC chats :-(. Don't worry, one of these days I'll push that red button. Good luck with the real world. Rob ert 03:57, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

All the best for the future in real life. You were a great Wikipedian, admin and Esperanzian, you're an asset to the community. We'll all miss you. Hope to see you on MSN or IRC. --Ter e nc e Ong 07:01, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to see you go. —Nightst a llion (?) ^{Seen this already?} 09:13, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

We're gonna miss you, KOS. Hope to see you back someday... --Misza 13 ^{T C} 09:48, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sad that you're leaving. Farewell, KnowledgeOfSelf. --F a ng Aili ^說嗎? 13:20, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Very sad news to see. :( You were and are an amazing Wikipedian, and I hope you will return to us after a rest. Best wishes in everything, Xoloz 17:18, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What!?...You're leaving?! Well okay, if you think it's best. Take care of yourself and know that you will be missed. --Reflex Reaction (talk)• 20:38, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Knowledge Of Self takes determination" and thats what you have.--Ali K 16:16, 9 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have only known you for a short time. Netherless, after viewing your contributions, I must admit I regret you leaving Wikipedia. I don't really know your reasons exactly, but I can guess what could make you leave, as I've already confronted very unpleasant conflicts in WP. I hope you will return one day. In this case - see you again. In the other case... well, I hope there will be no other case. Wikipedia really needs people who don't attempt to exploit it, and you're among them. Goodbye, and farewell, if you really don't return - but you actually should.

Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness!!!!!! Not to pressure you to come back or anything... we can all pretend we didn't see you sneaking around and editing... but yay, even if you are just here briefly! -- Nataly a 04:53, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

It's nice to see you stopping by. Hope you continue editing, even if it's only sporadically. — Knowledge Seeker দ 04:58, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello :) KOS | talk 16:21, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, long time no see. Welcome back Steve. :) -- Bane s 20:14, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bah what is that rubbish? We talk almost everyday outside of WP. :P You'll have to discount that month I took away from the internet in general though. KOS | talk 20:16, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Warmed

I'm truly warmed through to see you about, now take it easy on those funny pages we were talking about. --Alf ^melmac 20:54, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That will be very hard to do, I make no promises!!! KOS | talk 21:03, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's wonderful to have you popping up on my watchlist again, dear Steve! :D Cheers, Sango 123 12:15, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

YAY! Syrthiss 12:21, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks to all and everbody else who comes by to say welcome back and/or it is nice to see me again comments. KOS | talk 13:48, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good to see you again! Haven't seen you in ages... Sorry for the late comment. Hope to see you soon. xD --Ter e nce Ong _{(Chat | Contribs)} 14:34, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What the F***?

So you're back? And you couldn't tell me? I'm insulted!!!

Just kidding. It's good to know that you are finally back to the community. Glad you're here. Orane (talk • cont.) 02:59, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Heh, I'm more or less letting people figure it out for themselves, though if you had replied to the email I sent you about 3 days ago or so, you would have found out even quicker! :) KOS | talk 11:29, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

O.K Fair enough. But it's not that I didn't want to reply. The thing is: I don't check my e-mail as often as I should. Bad habit :P .Orane (talk • cont.) 21:54, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

PS: I'll see what I can do for the image. However, it may be hard: policies regarding image uploads have grown very strict. Orane (talk • cont.) 21:56, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've been searching, and the only free one that I've seen is this screenshot: [1]. The others with him playing bball seem to have been taken by fans or someone at the sidelines, and thus may be copyrighted. Orane (talk • cont.) 22:04, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm that one will have to do for now then, thank you very much my old friend! Keep a lookout for any that you see of Kirk Hinrich though please! KOS | talk 22:13, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

KOS is back!!!!

DO MY EYES DECEIVE ME?!?!?! Steve, YOU'RE BACK!!!!!!! And after hugging you like 100 times (count them!), here's a slap on your wrist for not letting me know you were returning! *slap* Just in case you didn't know, Mister, your name has been on my missing friends list at my userpage like forever... you were never forgotten, my dearest KOS... and you didn't tell me anything, I'll kill you! ;) My mentor, my first wikifriend ever and the one that gave me my first advices and my first barnstar ever has returned!!! Party time! :) Big hugs, Phaedriel ♥ The Wiki Soundtrack!♪ - 20:51, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, I told almost nobody, excluding one or two people who I am in regular contact with, through Skype. I figure everyone will figure out that I have returned on their own time. I don't want to trump my own horn so to speak. :) KOS | talk 22:13, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You're back, and you didn't even tell your own Son? ;)

Welcome back!!!!! Yay :) — Fire Fox 11:58, 26 July '06

Well, at least this is not a porn wiki... --Nlu (talk) 13:01, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome back. :) I umm... finished this stuff while you were gone. :) --Shane ^{(talk/contrib)} 16:49, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I am indeed back, though I am no longer an Esperanza Admin coach, I'll still be happy to answer any questions you would have, but I will not be "active" as a coach. Great to hear from Bugs. KOS | talk 16:53, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yep. I know. --Shane ^{(talk/contrib)} 16:54, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. KOS | talk 20:21, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Will you be going back to the chopping block anytime soon? :P Just a thought — and an encouragement. Sorry I couldn't help with the tag — just came home from a 10 hr workshift. Anyway, the current one seems appropriate. Wow, you had a lot of friends on Wikipedia huh? Good to know I'm in the presence of greatness lol. Orane (talk • cont.) 22:22, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Eh that wouldn't be something I'm going to focus on anytime soon. I'm still wet behind the ears. :P No worry about the image, I just need to find a couple more to really make the article "pop" so to speak! Just keep on eye open if you please :). Greatness?!?! If you say so lol KOS | talk 00:05, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
