User talk:Vaughan Pratt/hyperbola

I'll leave this article here for a few days to give people time to raise objections to it as a replacement for the current lead, which has ballooned up with a lot of technical detail that would be better in the body&minus;despite being quite detailed this replacement is less than half the length of the current lead. Either this talk page or the hyperbola talk page would be appropriate places for comments. If there are no objections that can't be easily dealt with in a few days I'll try replacing the current lead with this one. If you see anything in the current lead that isn't covered adequately in the article and you think it should be please either add that to the body of the article or propose it for addition. --Vaughan Pratt (talk) 23:52, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
