Hello Again
Thanks for your comments on my page. However, the conventional place to leave messages like that is on the user's talk page, not their user page. I've moved them accordingly. I'll get back to you on the substance probably later today. Matchups 12:30, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

''I'd like to continue with this project, more with such work as this than with matters of content. (My main value there is that of anyone ignorant, useful for measuring clarity of explanation.) I have a degree in English, for what that may be worth, and some skill at this sort of encoding.''
 * Thanks for your work on the glossary. Something else you might consider doing is starting/expanding articles on bridge players, which requires research rather than bridge expertise or experience.

''Also, as I'm sure is evident, I have no idea on the most basic things, including whether this is even the way to 'leave a message on your page', as per your note to me. Where should we put our thoughts on the bridge project in general, the glossary in particular, and so forth ... and how do we do it? (The glossary 'Discussion' was last used about 9 weeks ago.) Any help you can give me with that sort of thing will be greatly appreciated.''
 * There are lots of places to go, depending on what you're writing about.
 * If you're writing about a particular article, such as the glossary, you should comment on its talk page, even if that page seems inactive.
 * If you have a question about the bridge project, then its talk page is the place to go.
 * As noted above, comments to a specific user (e.g., thanks for cleanup work, questions about edits they've made) should go on the user's talk page.
 * And if you're looking for general editing advice, try the help desk.

Alcoholism
I really appreciate your comments on the alcoholism discussion page and have left you a response there. I hope you'll contribute actively to that page. Maybe we can bring it back to a logical article (as it was once upon a time). Drgitlow 18:58, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
