:(Sorry I'm late in replying - your request arrived at about the same time as a group of friends and their neighbours forced to evacuate their homes because of bushfire smoke. Some were asthmatics. (Even here, 50 miles away as the raven flies (we don't have crows in Tasmania) things are blurry and there is no far horizon.)

:Where are you? Approximately I mean. I ask because the very question of the definitions of the parts of Europe can be one of perception, including historical perception. I'm complicating things, so I'll shut up for the moment. [[User:AlanE|AlanE]] 18:51, 5 January 2013 (EST)

==Dashes etc.,==
::Technically, there are standards dictating when to use minus signs, em-dashes, and en-dashes. What rules do you want to follow? For example, please read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Dash#Dashes.2C_hyphens.2C_and_minus_signs and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOS:DASH#Dashes A user who nit-picks over such details probably should not be blocked for compulsive editing. :-) [[User:Wschact|Wschact]] 22:12, 31 January 2013 (EST)

:::I blocked him for a day - half of which he will probably be asleep - and the other half I will be. Dash. Yes Dash I know (sort of) the rules of punctuation dash I am a hyphen man myself dash but this bloke is filling up the "recent changes" far worse than Ken or dash more recently dash OscarO ever did dash does. As I said to Karajou dash if it gets to the colon we have a real problem. (Wait 'til you get to my age.)
:::Do you know what gets me, Wschact? It is dash I can write thousands of words of sodashcalledendashcyclopedic words on this site and never get a mutter from anyone dash but as soon as I ban someone for a bloody day dash someone pops up and has a shot at me. If you want to talk about this dash go to my gmail. I am a lot friendlier there. [[User:AlanE|AlanE]] 22:53, 31 January 2013 (EST)
