In my last e-mail I expressed dismay that 168 had blanked Erik's pages. I was mistaken. Someone has explained to me that 168 had blanked his own pages; another explained to me that 168 has left the project. I apologize to 168 and to the list for my mistake. Of course 168 has a perfect right to blank his/her pages, and even to leave. I stand by the spirit of my posting -- there is something profoundly wrong when things reach the state of a multiple revert war, and people have to find some way to work together -- not that anyone should be banned, or should leave the project. I am sorry 168 has left, because s/he has made important contributions, and I hope 168 comes back and is able to work well with others once again to produce good articles.
