  Well, sooner or later it may come to that. *sigh*

  I second rolig's comments. I think on many of the pages you have placed these comments, you have forgotten to "close" the bold type, making the rest of the entire page appear bold. It would be much appreciated if you could refrain from using bold except on special occasions, or at the very least, edit those comments and close the bold type.
  
  You also might consider that for words that are spelling variations, not repeating the same definition on that page as a comment, but at most posting a simple "also spelled {xyz}." As I believe sionnach pointed out, all the comments that are entered on this site go scrolling by on the front page—it's the main way people seem to keep track of conversations—so while it's great to see your many contributions, the repetitive nature is a bit galling after a while.
  
  Welcome to Wordie! I hope you stick around.

  I'm impressed already by your energy and enthusiasm at adding words. I don't know if you realize it, however, but a few people have been offering you suggestions, for example, on the word meshugana. Basically, they are pointing out (and I agree) that you really don't have to copy and paste (or retype) dictionary definitions in the comment box, since there is already a row of icon-links to various English dictionaries right beneath the word itself. Also, next to the word, there is a feed from Wordnet providing definitions, though these, alas, are sometimes strangely written (hence many of us call this Weirdnet). Of course, if your word is very strange and unlikely to be found in one of these dictionaries, then a definition is most welcome, though speaking for myself, I usually prefer personal comments or observations about words, or paraphrases of dictionary definitions. But everyone discovers over time what works best for her or him with Wordie.
  
  Also I am wondering why you put so many of your definition-comments in bold? It's a bit annoying (both on the home page where the comments appear to everyone and on the word page), so I am wondering if you have a good reason for it.
  
  A lot of people when they first come to Wordie have questions, so feel free to ask me or anyone of the other more active Wordies. Also, you can find answers and discussions about some Wordie issues at the word faq.
  
  Please continue having fun with Wordie! By the way, you've got a wonderful name!
