Thanks so much for fixing my major boo-boos. Perhaps some day someone could show me how to do this rather than depending on the kindness of others.[[User:Mary Ash|Mary Ash]] 20:48, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

:No problem.  What you did was almost right, but then it looks like you tried to fix a mistake and wound up with a whole string of redirects.  To make an archive, first move your talk page to the archive at Talk:Your_Name/Archive_X where X is the number of the archive.  Then go back to your talk page (make sure it is actually the talk page, since it will be set to redirect to the new archive) and replace the redirect with <nowiki>{{archive box|auto=long}}</nowiki>. Does that make sense? -[[User:Joe Quick|Joe Quick]] 21:33, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

::It sort of makes sense. I'll have my kids take a look at what you wrote. I'm sure they can help me, if not I'll ask for once again. Many thanks. BTW just made some yummy red pepper jelly that I plan to freeze in my new freezer. Life is yummy!![[User:Mary Ash|Mary Ash]] 23:59, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

Scary synchronicity

About an hour ago, I finished indexing a book that contained a reference to Benedict Anderson's Imagined Communities, the same book you cited in a footnote to your Vernacular article. Cue the Twilight Zone music! Bruce M. Tindall 21:00, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

I'm actually reading Anderson right now. Or I should be. I think this is now the third time I've read it for one course or another, so it's hard to stay focused... -Joe Quick 15:29, 24 January 2011 (CST)
Suppose that *I* were reading The Roots of Coincidence by Arthur Koestler right now -- what would *that* signify? Hayford Peirce 21:43, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
Just another branch of coincidence, I suppose. ;) --Joe Quick 21:50, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
