My posts are bouncing back as "undeliverable," so I'll try this one more time. 
Anybody know what's up?

I grew up on a farm, was in the FFA all four years of high school, was majoring 
in agriculture at university before I switched to journalism, so I know of what 
I speak. I've seen a number of errors in Wickapedia, some of which I used to 
correct, but now I just leave it alone. I know it's a fine-line distinction, 
but 
still, it's so. 

But who cares? I'm being pedantic again.
