[edit]

Hi Fleet, sorry you feel I changed your content, but I included the text from your original and after my trying to make it more beautiful, and I don't see any changes in the wording.

	Here's how they look side by side on my browser (click for larger image) 

There was no intent to disturb the integrity of your writing and from the look of it, I don't see why you would be so upset. just tried to make it look more pretty/beautiful...doesn't sound like presentation is that important on Wikipedia from what you shot at me.. ;-/

Will respond to rest later...but wanted to clear out (or try to clear out) any muddying of the waters that has happened as soon as possible...)...

I much prefer the look on the left, really, and I don't think changes anything about your meaning. If you disagree, could you explain to me why? I may not be seeing some comma or some thing that you feel is important that I thought was a speck of dust, or the decor of the place.

I was trying to give it a homey look like you were speaking to me on a casual friendly level, vs. a power-over, 'I'm on a power trip' type of way. I think there's far too much of such that goes on via the internet -- more so than in person, because it's easier for people to dictate rules and not have to see the person's reaction or worry about hurting their feelings... It's great isn't?  ;-( (Of course I'm always perfect myself too!) ;-)

FWIW, if you check my sign-up date, I've been around for about 6 years...just don't feel qualified to say alot, but when I do, I try to know what I am talking about.

Addressed I hope!

[edit]

I think after much trial and error, I addressed the problem...couldn't figure out a right license for something that was a screen shot of a wikipedia page. but Finally found the license, (I think/hope/crossing fingers).
