Murfreesboro article
Thanks much Shabeki, but after losing many edit wars on Wikipedia, simply because I wasn't as familiar with the arcane, bureaucratic procedures and rules of Wikipedia as much as other editors were, I became frustrated and decided to stop making any substantive edits to the articles themselves-- now I just make suggestions/comments in the discussion sections. Plus I don't like the process for semi-protection-- I think far too many articles are semi-protected that don't warrant it and there is a general bias against unregistered editors here, so those are more reasons for me not to want to register an account. I had one long ago, but damned if I can even remember the password to it. In short: I'm not going to register. I hope you do get around to editing it someday, but in any event again thanks for supporting the idea and your reply. :)--96.227.150.65 (talk) 07:12, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
