Wow it's nice to come back to an article you created a long time ago and see that others have added to it :) My IP address was 70.149.21.254. September 30, 2006 --Fastman99

Only problem is, the article it should be merged with (now at Acceleration due to gravity) was created a long, long time before yours was (3½ years earlier than your 11 month old article), has much more information, and it has about a zillion links compared to a handful here.

Ok, are you trying to flame me and the article? I was the one who suggested that maybe this article be merged with Acceleration due to gravity. But I think there are some differences between the two articles. The other article only talks about the unit g, which is a unit of acceleration. "g" can be used to describe any kind of acceleration. Like, the pilot experienced 3 g's. The article, Acceleration due to gravity, is confusing because it only talks about gravity on earth. What do you mean, "only problem is" by the way? I don't think you even stated the problem. I was happy that people contributed to the article, that's all. You could say, since this article is very similar to Acceleration due to gravity, I think they should be merged together. Is it a problem that this is a new, short article? That's how all articles start out. Small at first, and then get larger. --Fastman99 17:48, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
