Is this finished?

Dmitri Gheorgheni, Post Editor Posted Feb 26, 2014
As far as I'm concerned, yes. 
But ask everyone who had a niggle if I've done it for them.

I'd like to read through it one more time before I say yes. It'll have to be tomorrow - or later today as it is half past midnight.

Ok. I'd leave out the apostrophe after investigators.
Other than that, I'm happy.

I'm having a rush morning. I'll leave that apostrophe business to sort out with the subeditor.

I hope you feel ashamed, offloading that on the poor sub.

I just read through again, and I'm still slightly uncomfortable about the Prime Directive, as it's not true that "they explained about the Prime Directive" - they explained about what we might call the Prime Directive...
"they admitted to cheating" - as I read the translation (which may or may not be what actually happened) I think it says they were allowed to pass on information, but not information about treasures, so they weren't cheating by speaking to their disciples and Fazio about Averroes' books etc...
"Gerolamo's book on system gambling wasn't published until the 1660s." - was it that he was recognised as the inventor of probability, even though his book wasn't published until after his death?

Dmitri Gheorgheni, Post Editor Posted Feb 27, 2014
Okay, I've got a few minutes. I'll go back and change those things.
I don't know that Fazio was recognised as the inveotr of probability. I'll make sure I made no such claim.

Okay, I went back and qualified every one of those statements.
