I`ve written about 10 bios for the site and just noticed that someone has been F******* around with the Jethro Tull bio. Not only did they change the photo but they f***** a lot of the grammar starting on the first line. I got a journalist friend to go through it and now it`s going to take some time to correct the thing. I had the same problem with the KC bio a while back. I took a lot of my free time to write those bios so if you think something`s not right contact me before you start srewing around with them. And it would be nice to have the original JT bio photo back. Stop playing GOD. ------------- |

Alright I'd post a pic of a cute one, but I'm sure it would be censored by a ghost editor.

Jusrt don`t f*** around with anthing I that I`ve written here without contacting me. That Jethro Tull Bio is a mess now. Obviously the person who tampered with it does not have a proper command of the English language. I make mistakes and I always stand corrected. I`ll call a spade a spade. There are too many chiefs and not enough indianns on this site.  ------------- |

I don't know about too many chiefs, etc. but it is bad manners to say the least to change someone's bio without contacting the original author. ------------- I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you? |

Yes. It`s a real mess and I don`t have the time right now to fix it up. I wish the person would own up to it. And I`m going to get the original photo put back as well.

What's wrong with the current photo?

Wow, Ian, it looks like you put a whole lotta work into that one. How lame for someone to mess it up.

I dunno. When we do things like writing bios for the site we don`t get paid for it and put a considerable amount of work into it and some clown comes along and defaces it. It should be the author who makes any corrections if necessary. I`ve even made corrections to some of my reviews after being notified by PM. ------------- |

It says that the last person to update it was you, and before you Sean Trane. Of course someone could have done it since without putting their name but it would have to be a Special Collab or Admin obviously. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Snow_Dog" rel="nofollow">

I`m just a bit flustered. I wish they wouldn`t do this. The worst error has already been corrected but I`ll have to do the rest tomorrow.

| If it's punctuation, it's more likely to be steps mailto:M@x - M@x has taken to prevent hacking which have inadvertently removed some non-text. I've noticed a few of my reviews have such markings missing now. |

Well I`m going to go through the bloody thing now. Doesn`t look like it was a result of preventitive measures to me. ------------- |
