I feel weird about not crediting Albert for the text on this page. I like removing sigs from topic pages, in general, but should we maybe add a "Credits" Subheading to pages like this to recognize the original / primary author? --[[User:Voidious|Voidious]] 00:38, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Hey AaronR - I liked your clean-up of this page, except for one thing: why replace the semi-colon as super-comma stuff near the top of the article? I think it's a little more clear that way, as long as you know that semi-colons can be used that way (in place of a comma for lists of lists). =) --[[User:Voidious|Voidious]] 01:06, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
