Hi Karl. I guess the Wikipedia being in the news has interested you in editing Wikipedia a bit more. Ran into some of your comments on Jimbo Wales. --Chan-Ho (Talk) 10:47, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Indeed. I believe a slashdot article on woot was the tipping point. I have found Wikipedia to be relatively useful for an internet source. -- KarlHallowell 14:01, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

"Greater or lesser" connotes change, so, "variously,"

or "variably" might have been a better word choice.

Good point. I decided to hold off on that to get some comment (and because I didn't feel like it at the time :-). The examples were in cases where there was already a lot of indefiniteness in the quantity. For example, "bulk" is an indefinite quantity which just means "large quantities" in the context of the granary wikipedia article. If I buy "in bulk", I could be buying 50 of an item or 50 million. Both are "large" quantities though one is much larger than the other. So "greater or lesser bulk" as mentioned, doesn't add anything. -- KarlHallowell 00:53, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
