Hi Craig, In case you haven't figured out the nuances of monitoring articles (by adding them to your watchlist), I made these changes to your text at craigslist with this Edit summary:

new section; wikify Cnewmark's comment; is "before the SPARC" supposed to be a separate item?

Maybe you could verify that an item isn't unintentionally split? (BTW, the easiest way to add an article to your watchlist is by clicking on the "watch" link at the top of the article's page.) —EncMstr 22:00, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, much appreciated! Um, not sure what split in what item, but I'm trying to pay attention.

Huon, thanks, I appreciate it! I've already sent that email, and you can contact me further via craig.newmark@gmail.com and/or craig@craigslist.org. (The latter will involve a delayed response.) Also, if I read correctly, good Eternal Champion/Moorcock allusion. Thanks! Cnewmark (talk) 15:38, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
