Was that "Try changing the number of "rows" in the code to 2" for my benefit? Didn't seem to make any sense other than talking about my mono-row guestbook.

Good luck with the Uni project, Kiltedjedi! This thread seems to have gone sadly off-track somewhere.

Cheers ZSF,
I had kinda noticed that, mind you I reckon I must've put this in the Heart of Gold, cos what are the chances of someones guest book putting people here.
Now that's a cunning way of advertising an article

Yeah, Mullet. I think it'll look nicer if it has 2 rows.

Wonderful entry, and I for one think the prelude books and their authers should be left in the middle of drum sand with a thumper going, and no stilsuits or fremkits...
I would suggest they don't merit mention in the guide other than as a footnote of why not to let people write extra book when the original auther isn't around to kick it into shape (if that would have been possible in this case, which I doubt.)

I like this
After a quick scan of the entry the main thing I'd be picky about is the grammar (the content is good 
) - in particular some of the capitalisation (of which there is possibly too much) and lack of some possessive apostrophes.
Unless the sub-ed is clued up on Dune some of these may be overlooked eg 'geriatric' rather than 'Geriatric' - it is just an adjective: "Of or relating to the aged or to characteristics of the aging process".
I respect your feelings on the prequels and their place (or rather lack of it
) in this entry, but I disagree with your opinion of them. I rather liked the first three prequels, probably more than I liked the last few written by Frank Herbert.

(there are a few typos in there too eg 'emporer' rather than 'emperor' pops up)
