::: And, by the way, if you are going to try to be cute, then at least be accurate. "They has provided" should read "they HAVE provided", and in any case, the use of "they" would not be correct since we know that TheGuy is male. --[[User:KimSell|KimSell]] 08:19, 23 February 2008 (EST)

:::: We'd appreciate you being more conservative in your edits. It is a conservative encyclopedia, after all. Yep, I guess "They have provided" would have been better, but it would have spoilt the joke, wouldn't have it (although I guess you didn't think it funny anyway)? But you are wrong on two points: First, I don't ''know'' that TheGuy is male. It is a reasonable thing to think given his name, but then there's been plenty of female authors with male pen-names, so I can't be certain. Second, I was referring to ''you'', not TheGuy!

:::::: Wow! This encyclopedia whines about the change in the meaning of a word that actually ISN'T a change, as demonstrated in a number of sources that I have given, but then you say you want me to be more "conservative" in your edits, where conservative can only mean "without support, corroboration or evidence". --[[User:KimSell|KimSell]] 08:31, 23 February 2008 (EST)
