Hi All, Agreed - there are a number of folks who have deletion privileges in the wiki (I am one of them).
Based on your feedback above - I will delete the page. Of course, there will be a record of the deletion - but I agree with Declan's comment below for the need to act sooner rather than later. Notwithstanding that, it is is important to give new users (and older ones too), education as to what is appropriate or not, on WikiEd. Wayne is travelling now, and I've cc'd him to make sure he's apprised of this situation. - Randy On Wed, Apr 7, 2010 at 9:41 PM, Declan <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi folks, > > I also have done a quick side-by-side comparison.
