--- yes, there seems it is always difficult when two people are working on an article at the same time. In any case, I edited my last comment and placed it on your personal talk page, where I think it really is more appropriate than on the article talk page. Also, if you are archiving stuff, I suggest you creat an archive 2 for later material. The convention also is not to select specific stuff for archiving, though, but periodically to archive contiguous material as the talk page gets too long. That said, I still think a lot of stuff you have placed on the talk page should not be archived but if anything be incorporated into the article. Slrubenstein
