I spent two + hours this morning editing "Barry Dean Karl" page as instructed. When I returned after lunch, I found a request for some mechanical changes and instructions about how to go about doing as instructed. When I followed the directions, I found that my two plus hours of work had disappeared. My first question is "how can I restore the changes." My second is "what did I do to cause them"  Karlbd (talk) 01:56, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

I have been thinking  over the above statement I made thie afternoon. I believe you are engaged in a marvelous project that could well change the character of such traditional efforts around the world. While I can scarcely tell you how flattered I am to have been considered for inclusion, I'm not sure that the last week of experimentation I have put myself through has supported you or me. Others belong more than I. You must have some useful method of excluding me, that is, something I can do that will make that act quiet and efficient and will not leave any embarrassing fingerprints. Let me know what it is. Meanwhile, let me congratulate whoever the lot of you might be. It is a "grand design" and it would give me a real charge to be part of it. But I have a book I must get finished. Like some of your biographees I would feel misused at having to say that I had works planned or "in process." You really should not allow such predictions. I remain gratefully yours, Barry D. Karl..
