Thanks very much for the note. You're quite right, the signatures make a lot of clutter. I've been signing mostly entries where I'm arguing with someone. That may not be needful, since it's so easy to discover the authorship of entries/revisions through the history pages. To be honest, I have thought about halfway through this issue: I use History to see who is responsible for other information, but until your message it didn't occur to me that everybody else can use History too. . . . [Rapid rethinking of policy] I'll take your message as a suggestion and cut down on the signatures.<br>

Is it just me, or is ''AtD'' an order of magnitude denser than ''M&D'' in terms of encoding? The text keeps unfolding--with concrete information as an anchor (dates, etc.) forcing new ways of analyzing the narrative. It's very stimulating.
