Hi Xantief - I've just finished subbing your entry on Stupidity - you can find the Recommended version at A12737685 .
You've done a pretty good job and so I haven't made too many drastic changes, but I'd still be thankful if you'd take a look at the finished version and let me know if it's ok.
Alex

Following F4182426?thread=3157385&skip=31&show=2(post 32), Xantief said "I agree that a comment on the article's humorous nature is appropriate" and A11305694 was ammednded to include the words in capitals below:
Carlo M. Cipolla, Professor Emeritus of Economic History at Berkeley, IN HIS SOMEWHAT LIGHT-HEARTED ESSAY The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity, applies transactional analysis to posit a set of laws, quoted here
So... why are they missing from the entry heading for the EG?

Well, I actually got the EG version from a machine that jumbles up topical phrases and produces a non-sensical pretend version
Sorry, but I cut it by mistake - the EG version should read 'In his somewhat light-hearted essay, The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity,' - but there's nowt I can do now that it's with the editors - try <./>Feedback-Editorial</.>

"... jumbles up topical phrases and produces a non-sensical pretend version ... "
Touché
Anyhoo... on a (slightly) more serious note...

Really? Keep up the good work, then.
It's two in the morning here, but you probably already guessed that.
