| I thought that the line I removed from the article on mating was unconstructive (it was, as you can tell from the diff "IT FEELS REALLY GOOD IF YOU IMATATE THE ANIMALS. LOL!"). As much as I appreciate that different people have different standards for what is constructive, I admit I thought it was more or less obvius that that line was added there as a prank.

| :No, you are absolutely correct, that was an error on my part.

| ==Homeopathy== | |||
| Hi Brian, I enjoyed your comments on the homeopathy article but sadly you/we are up against a heap of science zealots who believe it is crap. This prejudicial disbelief which is recycled constantly within the so-called 'scientific' community keeps a strong ambient disbelief and hatred going against it in polite society and so many folks never see beyond it. It is 29 years this month since I was first introduced to homeopathy and I was amazed by it. I often still am! I am these days a mere historian of the subject but I still use it daily for myself, my family and friends. How do you think this article can be improved, Brian? thanks best wishes ] 17:44, 2 October 2007 (UTC) | |||

re: comma required for pedantic correctness
I just realized that without your comma, the article was talking about a belief in "accepted atheists". I am not sure what an "accepted atheist" might be (perhaps they are "honourary" atheists... sort of like being an "accepted Mason"?)... but, in any case, I am sure that GOdF would allow you to believe in them (such broad standards!). :>) Good catch.

And yes, could you please help me get some more userboxes? I found a bunch.... how do you get the box called "My User boxes" on your page? Please reply to my talk page. Thanks! :)

Re: Msia Collaboration
Hi docboat. Yea, the Msian wikiproject has been really inactive since its inception. Im afraid one day someone might put up the {{inactive}} template on the page :p I have contributed mostly at the to do section, and the cartography section. I wouldnt mind contributing a bit more, maybe for Malaysia article. kawaputra 05:44, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Homeopathy
Hi Brian, I enjoyed your comments on the homeopathy article but sadly you/we are up against a heap of science zealots who believe it is crap. This prejudicial disbelief which is recycled constantly within the so-called 'scientific' community keeps a strong ambient disbelief and hatred going against it in polite society and so many folks never see beyond it. It is 29 years this month since I was first introduced to homeopathy and I was amazed by it. I often still am!

- Hi Peter! The article is indeed completely messed up by anti-homeopathic sentiments which, although valid and need to be documented, have taken over the article and dominate. They give a seeker the wrong information due to WP:UNDUE. How to fix it? Well, I think the WP:GAR is a good start.
