[edit] Interesting use of footnoting by CJC
urrie

Mind if I copy your footnoting technique? Much of the idolizing comment on Jack Layton's page deserves this kind of treatment. Thanks for the idea! DSatYVR 17:06, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

I suppose there's no reason for you not to use it (though I won't make any assessments of its applicability to the Layton page). CJCurrie 03:02, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
