I'd like to apologize to Jimmy Wales and to Kira Wales for the commentary I published on this thread. If the moderators would please remove my comments (and copies of those comments) from the thread, I think that would go a long way toward showing that I really harbor no personal animosity or threatening posture toward Miss Wales.

Barring that, at the very least, I can remove my own comments after some short amount of time, and also ask if others who quoted my comments might remove them from their own posts.

As it turns out, the threads are far too old, so we don't have the ability to Edit our own posts.

You know, I went through and tagged the ones that would be removed (and actually the first one was Somey's, not yours), and then realized that rewriting history is just a stupid thing to try to do.

Maybe the wikipediots will see things differently, but honestly I'd rather see a mistake and an apology than a coverup without an apology.

And for the record, my daughter is also enthralled by the "Warriors" books... I also answer to "Bramblestar", if you get tired of calling me "Johnny" (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/smile.gif).

Does she like pizza? How about reading them together at a pizza parlor? Do you frequently fly to London?

Maybe Tarc will break Jimbo's neck like a chicken bone?

But in all seriousness, that article on Wikipedia is completely without functioning sources, for content as detailed as this:
QUOTE
Birth
Infanta Leonor was born at 1:46 am in the Ruber International Clinic in Madrid by means of a caesarean section necessitated by non-progression of labour. Infanta Leonor weighed 3.5 kg (7 lbs. 11 oz.) and was 47 cm (18.5 inches) long. Her birth was announced by the Royal Family to the press via SMS. Leonor left the Ruber Clinic with her parents on 7 November 2005.

Baptism
The Infanta was baptised in the Zarzuela Palace by the Cardinal Archbishop of Madrid, Antonio Rouco Varela, on 14 January 2006. Like her father in 1968, Leonor was baptised with water from the river Jordan, following the Spanish Royal Family tradition. She was also given the additional names of de Todos los Santos (of All the Saints), a Bourbon tradition. Her godparents were her paternal grandparents, Their Majesties King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia of Spain.

The Spanish Royal House confirmed on 25 February 2006 that stem cells from Princess Leonor's umbilical cord have been frozen and stored at a blood bank in Tucson, Arizona. A spokesman said this is "habitual practice" at the clinic where Leonor was born. The stem cells will be frozen for at least 15 years, along with cells from 18,000 other babies around the world. Leonor is not the first royal baby to have her stem cells frozen; Prince Christian of Denmark has had his stem cells frozen as well.

Schooling
Infanta Leonor began her education at the daycare for the children of the Spanish Royal Guard.

She began her first year of real schooling on 15 September 2008 at the Santa María de los Rosales School in Aravaca, just outside Madrid. Her father is an alumnus of the school.


Can you imagine the outcry if the general location of her pizza parlor outings with her father were disclosed?

Where are you Tarc? Shouldn't this be deleted from Wikipedia??!?!

I gave Kohs a very simple logical condition; if A is true, then B will result.

What exactly do I have to "live down" ?
