formatting

[edit]

I have been trying to format this article so that it was readable and useable. It was my intention to not change ANY of the text, even parts that seemed to me to be wrong - such as weird numbers or "[" out in the middle of nowhere, and that sort of thing.. I am not going to start making those changes where I see fit. I will mark all the changes after this pont with a # mark in the notes. Life is supposed to be interesting. 70.41.65.26 20:08, 11 February 2007 (UTC)Reply
