If you've been Jorgeanising Pierre's stuff, I say we drop the pretense that the text is collaborative, and make you editor and be done with it. You can't both be one of the team and appropriating the end product, even if you did do 90% of the work. Conversely, if there is no notion of ownership of the text, then there is *nothing* preventing me restoring sane punctuation to the entire text tomorrow. Not that I'd want nothing to do with a text that refuses to put dots before the i's anyway. No smiley there, either. Nick, curmudgeon. *** "Relax."--"yIleS."
