Well, here it is Dr. T

Crikey. This is off the clapometer.

My first question is how did you decide which size headers to use? Some are big, some are small. Alternately.

That's because some are s and some are s. I'm not 100% sure that this will be the final layout, but it won't be much different if I change it.

Well as with all your stuff, it's a good read. You have a nice turn of phrase. Thus, not being deterred by the perceived obscurity, the only way I can think of keeping this near the top of PR for 7 days is to nit-pick it.

Fair enough

And your inspiration for this entry?

Personal reasons

The best kind, then.

So in the spirit of cooperation already agreed, do you think the Eds will allow you to use that "... certain age ... " device.

My logic is as follows:

1. This is more or less a historical entry so is unlikely to be subject to updating very often.
2. In five years, many of those not above that certain age now will be above the certain age.
3. The entry will then read false.

And here endeth today's nitpick.

I don't see why that should pose an editorial problem. As no actual figure has been mentioned, it's more of a concept than a fact, and so changes with time.

Of course, if I have to tweak it and re-post it, the mods will have to read it all over again.

Just what have you got against the poor mods Dr T?

Who are the mods?

The moderators - ie the people who pull anything which goes against the House Rules. Each time you tweak an entry and hit 'update', they have to read the whole thing, even if you only added a comma. That's why you should use the 'Preview' button as much as poss, and save up tweaks to do as many as possible all at once

You're not supposed to me talking to me, you're supposed to be watching the first episode of Enterprise wot you taped last night. (Jokey emoticon would appear here).

I am - I pause it every now and then to check my postings page

Is this irreverant use of Peer Review?

I am today celebrating the births of both Lucy (this morning) and Jack (four years ago). Matthew is in the middle.

It probably is.

So, would those be offspring of yours then?

Yes they are. I am recolonising.

I have another question Dr Trout - do you ever sleep? You seem to post at every conceivable time of the day

It just seems like that because of time zones I suspect.

I'll admit to being a Dean Friedman fan - he was touring the UK earlier this year I believe, and possessing the original vinyl of 'Well Well, said the Rocking Chair' complete with plastacine figurine cover. Though disappointed that Ariel wasn't on the album - "I said 'Hi,' she said 'yeah, I guess I am'" I was impressed enough to look up the credits of the co-singer on the album. I was thinking 'I knew that' when I spotted the thread. (Enough bumpf boy, cut to the meat.)

What about listing some of her other recordings.
