OK. I am new to floss books. I made a pass word with a username and my real
name [Andrew Thornton] as required.
So now when I get into the circumvention book I see about 10 other people
who are writing/editing this one. I don't see that the edits that I
suggested last week through Adam's link [I had no account then] have been
put in. So do I put those edits in such as panopticlick in the glossary?
