How did you manage to edit for so long without getting a welcome? ;^) -- wrp103 (Bill Pringle) 00:14, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Happy to be here!
Thanks very much for your warm welcome, Bill. I've flown under the radar thus far, I guess; haven't done any major rewrites, although I've fixed a couple of instances of vandalism I've found. I don't devote much time to Wikipedia, but I'm an editor by trade, so when I see something that needs to be edited, it's hard not to resist the impulse. (I sometimes have to restrain myself from editing menus in restaurants.)

I see you are a Cheryl Wheeler fan. My wife and I like her work; we saw her live with Christine Lavin in one of the "Bitchin Babes" tours a while back. Among that group of singer/songwriters, we're also fans of John Gorka.

Switch Slam Poetry redirect?
Hi Athansor - I've added a discussion item over at Slam Poetry wondering if it should redirect to poetry slam. I'm just getting involved in that page, and your input would be appreciated. Thanks, ProfJeFF 14:47, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

And now I too have been away from Wikipedia for a while - getting back to you a good month after you responded to me. I prefer Marc's original concept for the slam to the commercialized version that is emerging, but agree with you on the book issue. Ah well. It was always for the masses, I just wonder if the audience understands that it's (inadvertantly?) being called idiotic. Or perhaps that is the point :-) ProfJeFF (talk) 01:27, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
