Gnomon - time to move on

Thanks for looking over changes I have made and being generally supportive. I really appreciate it. I change things when I see they're wrong, but have been accused of trying to take over the Guide. This was by a particularly bitter researcher, when I changed some electrical information in one of her entries. She said she researched her entries very carefully so it must be right. She then subscribed to Curator Forum so that she could make sure I wasn't doing any other damage.

She was wrong, but it still rankles with me. Your considered responses are much more reassuring.

I don't mean to bother you, but I know you have been working on this;

I just picked up an Entry from the Flea Market A529814 from April, 2001.

I notice the first header is in lower case, but the Entry displays in both Alabaster and Pliny.

I have already corrected this in my copy, so I am not looking for any help - but I thought you might be interested.

Thanks FS. The ones that really cause the problems are the GUIDE and BODY tags. If they're in lower case, the entry is invisible in Pliny. For other GuideML tags, lower case sometimes causes a problem, but I don't know exactly when.
