A really big no-no is copying straight out of a source. I have left your contribution in the article but can you please reword it so the submission doesn't contravene copyright. FwiW Bzuk (talk) 13:31, 24 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I'm new at this, so didn't think about the copyright aspects of copying from another site. Have self-administered 20 lashes with a wireless mouse cord. I also wordsmithed it a bit more, before I realized that it had already been edited. If you want to revert my changes, go for it. NavyVet6989 (talk) 03:59, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No problem and in replying, use a ":" in order to establish a back-and-forth. That way each comment is differentiated and appears on a seperate stepped line.
