Right, you obviously have a bee in your bonnet over this for some reason, so let's clear things up.
You seemed to think two people (including yourself) had previously said that the changes made since post 21 weren't necessary. That wasn't the case, as I said before.
I initially asked if AC had given up on it because he had posted in the last 24 hours, but not on this thread for a week. I was wondering why he hadn't responded to your comments, aswell as other researchers.
I thought the issue was settled too, and we had moved on. They don't call you Captain Obvious for nothing do they?

'Although I'm willing to bet that it was done after the fact..'
So, I ask again, what are you talking about?

You came up with this detailed reasoning behind a quick one liner. I was just saying I thought you did it after the argument began, not when you actually first read the post. But, if you re-read post #32 (I think), you'll see I didn't really care about it.

YO! sc don't panic!
It's never wrong to comment, even if things have been said already. I sometimes forget what's in the backlog, so I am personally happy when someone pops up with a 'repetition' of comments. Furthermore, I think there's no such thing as 'enough' feedback in PR.

dave,
It wasn't really detailed reasoning at all, it was simply responding to your claim that two people had said that the changes recommended were unnecessary. I couldn't see where this was said anywhere, that's all.
sinistercoincidence,
As Hell said, there's no such thing as too much feedback in Peer Review. My marbles just plain broke this morning when I smashed my head on the car door, so don't think you're alone. Especially on h2g2.

Sorry I've been quiet for a bit, I've been on a technology sabatical, ie my computer crashed and it's taken a while to fix.

Damn! I hit the 'Accept' button by mistake. Oops - sorry about that. Let's hope that you're alright with it going in the EG. If not, no worries - I'll sort it out. Either way, please let me know, A_C.
Cheers,
Sam.

Right, I've made a few changes.
Thanks to sinistercoincidence, and in answer to your question; I was always told that it's better to get teh spelling mistakes ironed out in the review than by the editor. They aren't infalliable and might miss it themselves.
BTW, hands up who else hates "its" and "it's"? I was 17 before I knew the difference.

That was damn good timing on my part.
I haven't been able to get online all weekend, computer problem. Let's just put it this way; if you ever clone your c: drive, pay attention to your first virus scan, it'll ask you a question about your master boot record which summounts to this;
"Virusguard: Would you like me to crash you computer forever, or do you want to keep working with it?"
5 and 1/2 hours later I had it back up and running.
Key: Complain about this post
