[edit] Exploding Boy revert
It's disappointing to see someone's 300 words reverted by a couple of mouse clicks in an "under the radar" minor edit. I thought that's what {{{NPOV}}} or {{{cleanup}}} were for.
I restored the text, not because it was great, but because it was relevant, and I used it as the starting point for my expansion. Bookandcoffee 23:03, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Undermining the pun
There was confusion in the "History" about the pun of the name of the paper. One person didn't know the difference between strait and straight. At the end, the better logic prevailed. However, it still wasn't right. The maps at the time called the water "Georgia Strait", so the pun was better. I heard the government even changed the name to the Strait of Georgia to spoil the pun and thus defeat their hippie detractors! Absurd, eh? Korky Day 09:35, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
