it is like the bio blurb ... everyone sees it.  ;p

um, no.  can't we just get past "features" for the current iteration and
just roll it up to w.e.o. already?

><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><

you don't.  more people wanted the name to show than those that didn't.

dunno what to tell ya, it seems to work just fine for everyone else that's
used it today.  it's probably just t.e.o.  i've noticed it's being *really*
slow today.  i just tried it again a couple of times and it worked just
peachy.

uh, the content table.  ;p

><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><

they do huh?  i rarely see enough information available in "other articles
by so and so" blocks to make the determination that there's some order to
how they're displayed.

fwiw, i think you know where they're coming from and why they're in the
order they're in.  you were one of the chief participants in the discussion
about how that portion of the page worked.  do i need to go over the find
points again?

><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><

yup, moving along.

that's only one tiny detail of the author block, the majority of the details
of which have been vastly altered since the initial attempts.  what exactly
are you getting at?
