Sorry to bitch about this, but there are at least three things wrong with this entry, and that is without reading it.
1) The actual author of the piece - Hideo - is not credited
2) (UG) does not appear anywhere in the title - as I understand it these two letters should be appended to the end of all official Underguide entries
3) It is not marked "Not for Review" - I considered submitting it to PR out of sheer bloody mindedness.
We absolutely MUST maintain consistantly higher standards than this.

What _exactly_ is your problem with this post abcB? Personally I thought it was a fun read and not exactly any harm done.
I hardly think they meant it to be taken seriously - live a little!

Don't worry about it, Divness. I knew this entry before it was a twinkle on the author's keyboard. It is just a shame, as I have noted, that it seems to have bypassed the UnderGuide quality control systems, and that the author of the entry isn't credited.
*still fuming*

Ben, when I saw this this morning, I was immediately as upset as you. First, upset with myself for not catching it until then.
I immediately fired off two emails to try to set this straight. No response yet
Apologies, Hideo, if you read this. This deserves better

Sorry everyone, I was in a real hurry when I posted this. All of your problems have been fixed, and it definately will not happen again.

S**t happens. If it is sorted then that is good enough for me. Thanks Prof.
