Thanks for chipping in at ]. I didn't want to engage in an edit war over it, so I was hoping someone else would back me up.

2. I contacted Dick Teresi, the author of the quote, asking him how he knew that the toilets were used in the sitting position. He refused to reply to my question. I suspect that he has made the same mistake that is often made by tourists who sit on the ancient Roman toilets. They see footpads as "seats", due to their cultural insularity. | |||
:No problem, the whole argument was really a waste of time and energy. I just looked through the guy's history and it seems he's been comitting possible copyright violation from various CISSP manuals too. He edited quite a few articles though, so I just reverted two pages (for potential copyvio) and left a message on his user talk page about it so hopefully he can clean the rest up himself. Good work on the Misplaced Pages Crypto project btw, it's really one of the nicest parts of Misplaced Pages. ] 18:19, 1 November 2005 (UTC) | |||

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
