Closing statement by withdrawing candidate
Thank you all for participating in my RFA. Although I am disappointed with the end result, I understand it and accept it. I will do my best to learn from this experience, and to address the opposers' concerns. Specifically about the talk page removals: I always knew that I was stricter in my interpretation of the talk page guidelines than the community norm; I just didn't appreciate how much stricter. I promise to be more careful and considerate in the future.
Thanks for all those who supported me, whose words encouraged me throughout the RFA, and continue to encourage me onwards. RamiR20:55, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
